That's difficult in every mode and across the board. We talk about additional facilities to inspect exports. We have to get those facilities built. We have to get the people in place. We can't really do that now.
Again, with the focus on exports, there is a concern—and I hear it from our members—that a lot of this is really focused on hopeful tariff relief. We were trying to show that we're focusing on exports to hopefully get a break, in terms of what's going on in the current regime in the United States. We've tried that. I don't know that there's any hope that any kind of appeasement is going to help.
Really, we're here to keep Canadians safe. Our focus still has to be on imports. Right now, we're able to force importers to build the facilities to do exams, such as in rail, and we simply don't do it, even though we're able to. When we see adding the ability to force building facilities to inspect exports.... If we can do it for imports, but we're not doing it, then are we going to do it for exports?
We really need to focus on keeping Canadians safe.
