Yes, I have a quick preamble question.

I wanted to get it on the record, Mr. Dufault, if I could.

My colleague, Wayne Easter, has been doing a lot of work on Canadian farmers and the issue of hopper cars. I have a single question that I'm hoping you'll answer with a yes or no.

Was the CTA involved in developing the methodology that resulted in the minister's $2 per tonne statement in May? If that was the case, can you provide an analysis of that statement? Can you give us the background analysis? Is that possible?
