Mr. Chairman, as can be self-evident from reading the consolidation of the amendments itself, what we are proposing is an every-year reporting function in addition to the five-year report. The five-year report would be substantially more in depth, given some of the comments made last time. We thought specifically that proposed paragraph 52(2)(c.1) would be helpful. It is for “the long term outlook and trends in transportation in Canada”, which will give not only a year-to-year synopsis of what's taking place but also a five-year outlook that can be compared to the last five years to see where the trend is going. That would be, from the department's perspective, very helpful on an ongoing basis.
