The agreement is for a period of 10 years. It provides for a number of changes, as there had been some problems with the previous agreement, which also was for 10 years. The question came up earlier and we will write to the committee to provide more details. One important thing to note is that the whole issue of the management of VIA trains, evaluating whether or not the trains on running on time and the respective responsibilities of both parties has been greatly simplified. As we stressed to CN, we are looking at things from the customer's perspective. If a train is running 22 minutes behind schedule, the customer does not care that CN is to blame for 12 of those minutes, and VIA for the other 10 minutes. Those were considerations that complicated the agreement. Everything has been greatly simplified and the results that we are seeing are really very positive. In terms of performance, our trains are running on schedule over 85 % of the time, which is very acceptable.
