Thank you, Mr. Allison.
My first question will be for the Railway Association. I've heard this comment about potential violence. My initial assessment would be the reverse. I would note that I think Canadians are very peaceful and this would be an unlikely possibility, but if there was that remote chance of violence, and if, in the telecommunications industry, that caused the banking sector to have shutdowns and people couldn't get their paycheques or pay their mortgages, people would be very incensed.
On the same note, if grain farmers couldn't get their grain on the railway in order to simply conduct their lives and support their families, there could be potential concerns for violence there.
In effect, the proposed legislation actually could cause violence. I don't see the existing legislation as being a cause for violence. If you read the news, we're not reading about incidents of violence happening on an active basis in Canada.
I want to have the impressions of the Railway Association and if that's a concern they would have.
