I don't know that I can speak to rail transportation for other commodities. I'll stick to what I know and what Chris knows, which is the grain side of things.
The Canola Council of Canada does market development and relationship work with our major customers around the world. When we have a transportation issue in Canada, we hear about it immediately from our customers. It's absolutely critical to our reputation internationally with large customers like the Japanese and even in the U.S.
To go to the processing sector you're studying, oil is a just-in-time delivery system for canola in North American markets. The companies that use canola oil in their manufacturing process—particularly in the United States, for example—get a car just in time to keep their plant moving. If there's any kind of disruption of rail transportation of canola oil or seed, we hear about it from customers immediately.
What we need to do is be sure we maintain a reputation and keep trains moving in the cold of winter and through the various challenges that come up.
