The wording is “the railcar that contains it was released to the railway for assembly to”. I can provide that the clerk.
Mr. Chairman, Mr. Cardin is absolutely right: in the vast majority of cases, the railways are responsible when there is a significant delay between the time the product should be exported and the time when it actually crosses the border. However, the railways are not entirely to blame for that type of problem. Occasionally truck drivers also experience delays. There may have to be a change of driver because of unexpected situations. For example, a truck may remain on the Canadian side of the border for a certain amount of time, however brief that may be, before crossing.
And the kind of dynamic Mr. Cardin has explained can also apply to road transport. I think it's important to consider this for cases where truckers may be forced to park along the side of the road at night, for example, in order to change the cab or wait for a new driver to arrive, before being able to take our high quality Canadian softwood lumber over the Canada-U.S. border.
Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
