Yes, it's really critical. The livestock situation can't wait until 2016. That has to be dealt with now.

—to the Canada Transportation Act, so that's why I say I think that input informs us right now.
I think earlier we had a witness who suggested, for example, that a question of interswitching could be something in that same review later on, but whether that's extended across the country, and what that could possibly mean.... There are certain questions, I think, that are sort of better put in that.

I'll leave it at that, Mr. Chair. I don't think I need to go any further. I think I've made my point, and I think our witnesses understand the approach the government's trying to take with that.
We'd appreciate your additional comments that could fall within the scope of what we're doing here today.
Thank you.

The Chair Conservative Bev Shipley
Thank you very much.
I want to thank the witnesses again for hanging around and then coming in.
Actually, this wraps up our witness list. Thank you very much.
I also want to say, though, to the committee, considering that we kind of got behind about an hour and a quarter or an hour and a half today, we're now within five minutes of being on time. You have been really important in making that happen, and I very much appreciate it.
We have some new business to do in camera.
