Thank you very much for being here this evening.
Mr. Larson, I'd like to go to you first of all.
The 11,000 cars per week that have been mentioned, and we've talked about this before, were numbers in various corridors that CN and CP said they would be able to handle without affecting other shippers. Of course, we've heard stories where that doesn't seem to be the message that is going to the other shippers, so it brings up this issue about one group fighting against the other, and that's going to affect everybody's approach to this.
Somebody mentioned the rancour that exists. I know that Mr. Payne spoke earlier of some of the concerns. As you say, this is not something that has just happened in the last couple of years. This has been ongoing for quite some time.
The way I'm looking at it is that there are other things that CN and CP have spoken of. One of those things was that they were also against interswitching, yet you were saying that perhaps we should be taking a look at expanding that.
The first question I had when I heard you speak was what would that number be, or what kind of flexibility do you think a person might have to have in order to at least help those in your industry?
