Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I will be very quick.
First I want to thank my opposition colleagues for tabling this motion. We are essentially in favour of the motion tabled today. We would, however, like to propose a few amendments, which I will mention right now.
We would like to use an already scheduled meeting, the committee's meeting on March 21, 2018, to discuss this issue. So we are taking immediate action. In the first hour of the meeting, we could meet with CN and CP officials. In the second hour, we could hear from representatives of the Grain Growers of Canada.
We would also like the list of witnesses to be sent to the clerk no later than 5 p.m. on March 15, 2018.
