Once again, sir, I think that the volatility we're seeing in weather patterns and the effect on both infrastructure and our growing conditions re-emphasizes the need for long-term planning. We're going to have consistent production at a certain base level, but we're seeing that with the gains in technology, digital yields and things, the crop in western Canada, the Canadian crop, can now move from an average of, let's say, 56 million tonnes and it will be not unusual to see 72 to 75 million tonnes depending on whether conditions go well or not.
You can't move a system for 20 million additional tonnes without some long-term planning. Part of that is, again, traditional rail; we need to get products that belong in pipes in pipes and we need to get product that belongs on rail on rail. We need to optimize the best and safest use of transporting those commodities. We need to ensure as well that we recognize that multimodal infrastructure will provide surge capacity.
If we look at intermodal and container systems that are running on separate trains and bulk systems, that is a good way in which we can create capacity that can come in and out as we need it. I think, again, the move to [Inaudible—Editor] is important.
