The Chair Liberal Kody Blois

I have one last quick one before I go over to Mr. Louis.

We heard from the railroads in the first panel about BNSF having access to Canadian rail networks and that there's no symmetry there with Canadian railroads having the same types of principles. At Transport Canada, are you of the view that that is a valid argument? Can something be done to try to create a network?

Have there ever been conversations with U.S. states about allowing for similar types of principles to be extended, taking into account that this pilot is Canadian? Is there anything you can provide the committee on that?
