Thank you, Mr. Chair.
My question is for Transport Canada.
When two sides are negotiating, they both have their starting positions in the matter. From the regulator's position, do you feel that the industry needs to do more? It comes down to foreseen and unforeseen circumstances.
This committee has looked at Canada's processing capacity. We know it's dominated by just two corporate entities. We've seen a lot of plants shut down, so the industry has become more concentrated. We've lost a lot of capacity in small, rural communities, often with devastating economic results.
Do the regulators feel that the industry needs to step up a bit more in some of these areas? Is that a starting position?
