—don't worry about it—there are 20 million to 25 million tonnes of carry-over. That being the case, this is a sense of trying to actually reduce that amount. It's not going to reduce it to zero or to a normal level; it's simply going to try to reduce it. The whole intent of all of this is to try to have as small a carry-over as possible at the end of this year, which is July 31. It still might be, even with an accelerated amount, 17 million tonnes.
That's really all this is intended to do; that's why the specificity in it, because we agree with specificity, as I said earlier. We simply want to see this number bump up a bit. There were some folks who actually had said that the numbers should bump up a bit. The issue is whether the committee believes we can ask that of the railroaders by regulation, or whether the committee thinks the railroaders are saying “We can't do it” and they accept that.
On our side, we don't accept the railroaders' excuses anymore, quite frankly. We think they should rise to the challenge and do it, not simply tell us that, sorry, we'll just have to steal from someone else. I think that's a bit of a hedge game, quite frankly, on behalf of the railroaders. Why wouldn't they do it? They are the ones who took all the capacity out of the system in the first place, starting with CN five years ago, and then of course last year with CP. They are doing well. All of us know that. They are doing well and the other parts of the system aren't doing well. It's now time to challenge them to do well by the other parts in the system, not just by themselves.
I would hope my friends across the way might want to actually say let's bump it up a bit, let's put a challenge in front of them that says let's get this, and let's see if they can help fix a situation that we all agree is not a good one.
