Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I'm not sure this is a good amendment. The ministers have had discussions with the railways, the shippers, and so on, and they said that they could deliver about a million tonnes, which is about 500,000 each.
Then we heard from witnesses, and I just made a comment regarding the shippers. The difficulty is, they're already looking at facing that the railways are suggesting that they're going to cut back on the transportation of their products. So these other shippers, whether it's mining, or potash, or forestry.... So, trying to put more pressure on the railway to move additional grain would mean that other products are going to suffer, so I have a really difficult time even suggesting that we move that number up.
Thank you.
