With due respect to the parliamentary secretary, the reality is that we're speaking about limiting the national transportation policy to the issue of rates and conditions only on interswitching and movements of goods through Canadian ports. A whole series of elements in the current national transportation policy that was adopted ten years ago needs to be continued.
They're certainly a broad series of principles that are important for our country. Transportation is absolutely vital to our country, so we can't cherry-pick and only say we're going to deal with certain elements or, as a preamble to a national transportation policy, say there are only certain elements that concern us.
There are a fairly significant number of elements that concern us. So far, the committee has done a good job of adding additional elements that may have been taken off with undue haste, and of ensuring that the national transportation policy is something we can all agree on and all be proud of.
