Your rationale to invest in the railways was that it would take more trucks off the roads, but that would also take jobs off of the roads. How would you defend that? I understand that your job is to advocate for your industry, but our job as parliamentarians is to see what's in the best interest of the nation. Those are a lot of trucking jobs. I think your statistic was that for one train it would be 300 trucks. Those are 300 jobs and 300 families.
