Thank you, witnesses, for all your presentations. It was really good to hear from the mining industry and the impact that this could have on that industry as well.
Mr. Otto certainly mentioned the boomerang effect of some of the smaller players in the system when the railways are basically going to be obligated to move 11,000 cars a week to wherever they can find the capacity.
To you first, Mr. Otto, and I would comment on Mr. Lemieux's point.
Simply put, if this system was working under the theory that you're talking about, we certainly wouldn't need this legislation today. I think history has shown that you do need some kind of GTA to have the authority to make the system work as you would like it to.
Mr. Otto, if a clear statement was put into the CTA that the principal purpose is to serve domestic shippers and domestic and foreign buyers, would that in any way give any authority? Would you support that kind of a statement?
