Yes, thanks, Mr. Patzer.
I would also like to add that last week SARM was in Ottawa, and we met with the Minister of Transport, Mr. Alghabra, and relayed our concerns. We met very recently with both CP and CN rail and they showed us their plans for winter movement and for the rest of the crop year. We're always concerned about issues. Some of the things we've already talked about, but one thing we brought to the minister's concern was that we're asking the federal government to make rail service, particularly in the grain and oilseed industry, an essential service, because we feel that farmers shouldn't carry the burden when there are labour strikes and things like that, poor weather, all those things. Rail needs to be given a higher priority.
One more concern we have is that we know there is an issue with loading ships in the port of Vancouver when it rains, and everyone knows it rains quite often at the port of Vancouver. They need to have covers at the loading facilities to be able to load the ships 24-7, seven days a week. That's one of our major problems, that the grain is not moving through that port as well as it should be.
