Thank you, everyone, for coming in.
We're running a little late, but we'll get started immediately.
Today the first hour will be on grain transportation, especially in the western provinces. Then we'll follow up with the committee business section of the meeting.
I'd like to welcome Mr. Shawn Tupper, assistant deputy minister with policy, and Lenore Duff, director general, surface transportation policy.
Welcome everyone.
We'll give you 10 minutes for opening remarks, if you wish. Then we will have questions.
