The only thing I'd like to say on this is that in a truly commercial system, the whole value chain has to be responsible for their sector. In other words, just to use an example as a producer, if I sign a forward-pricing contract with a grain company, I'm responsible for delivery of that grain at a certain period of time, and they're responsible for the price that I've signed up for and to take delivery of it. If that contract breaks down either from my side or from their side, there are penalties that apply.
Unfortunately, that's where the chain breaks. We don't have any way to apply penalties to the railroads if they don't supply service, and they're responsible for the problem if the grain company can't take delivery of it or I can't deliver.
That's where I see that we have to address this situation. It's been referred to as reciprocal penalties, but I don't care what you call it. I'm a firm believer that if I'm a producer and I have not honoured my contract, yes, I have to pay the penalty. So does the grain company. The way I look at it is, if the railroad is the problem, they should pay the penalty. There's a cost to this, and whoever's responsible for that cost should be responsible for picking it up.
