Thank you very much, Mr. Chair.
I want to thank the witnesses for coming here today. As you know, we're undertaking a study of the manufacturing sector in Canada, and our big interest now is to see what the government can do to help in the challenges facing the manufacturing sector. We've heard that really right now it's like a perfect storm in a lot of ways.
I was really encouraged when I heard a former Minister of Transport say that he was supportive of changing the capital cost allowance.
I was wondering, with the new government, have you had the opportunity to bring the railways' capital cost case to finance officials with the new government, and if yes, what responses were you given?
