I would agree that the difference is that the rail companies invest because there's money to be made.
I beg to differ with Mr. Bergeron. I live in Chatham in southwestern Ontario; I watch the trains go by and I see four trains and I see four people on them. I don't minimize the fact that there are maybe people in other centres wanting trains, but in Mr. Lindsay's case they're building these trains because there's industry there. It's an interesting discussion. I think we should have it another time.
One of the things that I learned—and I think we all learned in industry a number of years ago, Mr. Lindsay, when we studied the forestry industry and there were some severe challenges at the time—is that we've turned a corner, it seems. Would you agree that free trade agreements have been a large part of that?
As well, we've seen a significant downturn in the American economy, but that at least has been resolved too. Has that helped your industry? Is that one of the areas that has possibly made a difference?
