Thank you very much.
I want to echo the thank yous that have already been made to our witnesses, both for the work that you do—in particular, our witnesses from the food banks, who have been doing extraordinary work over the last number of years to serve people in distress—and for being willing to appear on short notice. I know this has been a difficult process in that way.
I want to ask Mr. Brazeau, Mr. Cato and Mr. Harvey a question.
We've heard a fair bit from pulse and grain growers associations around the table on interswitching. We've heard a few different things.
We've heard that their intention isn't to use American railways at all. They just want to enhance their bargaining position.
We've also heard that, in their view, because Canadian crews are required in Canada, that means we're going to see whether there are interswitching unionized crews in Canada carrying goods on short lines. I wonder if you may have some comment about that.
We've also heard that they would expect a significant amount of public investment in short-line infrastructure in order to make use of the interswitching that they say is for better bargaining.
I wonder if you might help zero in on which claims you think are consistent with the way rail freight works and where there may be some discrepancies.
