Thank you, Chair.
I'd like to thank our witnesses for their presentations today.
Last week we had the opportunity to debate this in the House. I'm sure you were probably listening to the emergency debate. This is not an easy question to answer. It's not black and white, and I don't think this is a partisan issue because we all know the importance of it, and the gravity and the impact it has, not just on our farmers but on all the other industries locally.
I know a few of you have touched on what needs to be done in the short term.
Mr. Wood, you mentioned more competition. Presently, what we have is kind of a duopoly.
I was wondering if the other witnesses can comment on the current situation with CN and CP, on maybe opening it up to more competition.
