And a solution? Yes.
You guys, like the rest of the country, don't like deficits, so there have to be ways of helping stimulate the economy that don't require taxpayers' money. One of them is to look at costs that are imposed by outdated or inefficient regulations.
Eighty per cent of Canada's forest industry mills, and we are the largest user of the railways, are captive to a single line. This, because of monopoly behaviour, imposes costs that we can no longer afford. If we could re-regulate the railways in a way that would create competition, we think there are solutions, and we've been quietly talking with the transport department about those solutions. There are some very elegant solutions for that. We actually could save an enormous amount of money, save Canadian jobs, save the rural economy, without asking the taxpayer to pay for it simply by putting simple competition into our transportation system.
This is not a complaint against the railways. It's a complaint against our regulatory structure that gives them a monopoly position. Everyone serves the client better when the client has a choice. It's the nature of humanity.
