Thank you for the question.
Transportation is a major consideration in agriculture. We need only think of the impact the 2019 CN strike had on farmers. That strike led to millions of dollars in losses.
We need to clearly understand the issues associated with delayed shipments. We also need contingency plans for similar situations. We need to know what action to take so that we can respond quickly. If the rail system is down, farmers all across Canada have to deal with the consequences.
