You're right that the railways are incredibly profitable, but that doesn't stop them from trying to pass on as many costs as possible to the shippers and farmers. I think that's a bit of what's happening here, and that's what we need to keep in mind. That's why we need to do what we can to make amendments to the Canada Transportation Act to rebalance the relationship between railways and users by whatever means we can. Extended interswitching is one of them, but there are other ways to do that and it takes some exploration.
