Let me start with the infrastructure and the pinch points. Again, the rail issues that we've seen over the last number of years are chronic. There is a capacity issue in rail service. On that capacity, when we have something like forest fires and washouts, etc., those limitations literally wipe out the system for weeks or months at a time, with a very limited ability to recover quickly. I think there's an area of redundancy for excess capacity, for surge capacity that's required when we have those types of issues.
We also see the Port of Vancouver as a key port for exports, and we're seeing increased traffic coming through the port, which is a good thing. It's a sign of a healthy economy, with product needing and wanting to be exported, but we just don't have the infrastructure to match it. Second Narrows bridge is not equipped to take the number of railcars that need to pass through to load onto vessels. The Thornton passage needs to be expanded.
We need to accept the fact that a growing number of vessels will be coming in and out of the Port of Vancouver. Rather than pursuing policies that seem to try to limit the amount of vessels that are coming in or out, we need to facilitate their entry and exit.
