Thank you, Chair.
Thank you for your patience, all of you.
Perhaps, Professor Gray, I'll start with you because you went through a number of things and you have just come out of a week where you studied this issue with a group of other folks in Saskatchewan last Wednesday.
You called for a number of different things about capacity building, but it seems to me that this becomes a longer-term vision, and we're not about to get a port terminal built in time for the next crop year. I absolutely agree with you, if we have a regular crop we've still got somewhere between 20 and 25 million tonnes to carry out, which makes it actually an above-average crop if you get an average crop the next crop year, and perhaps even for the next two, depending on circumstances.
In the short term is there anything we can do, through either this legislation or some other methods, that actually helps us move this thing along?
Yes, Mr. Philips is right, there are other players in the system that are looking for commodities to be moved. It's not just grain, but in this particular case it's grain that seems to have the biggest problem.
To you, sir, is there anything you see that we haven't looked at and we ought to be looking at?
