No, Monsieur, I would not say that it's not true, but it may be a misinterpretation.
I don't believe there is a correlation between congestion at the border and toll structure anywhere at this time. I do believe that in drafting the bill, the agency is concerned that in the future, in the case of our two crossings.... I operate three bridges on the northern part of the Niagara River, and Ron operates one bridge on the southern part of the river. I think that the Department of Transport would be concerned that if I were to drop the toll for transport trucks to a dollar, for example, transport truck traffic would suddenly dry up on the Peace Bridge. That would diminish his ability to recover the revenue to satisfy his bonds; that would be a predatory practice.
Conversely, if a crossing was not as close as we are—with a considerable distance to the next crossing—an operator could engage in predatory practice by charging a very high toll, which would be unfair to toll payers.
I believe it is those extreme situations that the minister would want to address. In no way does the language that we proposed to you this morning impair the minister's ability to intervene in those situations.
I don't know of any instance when congestion is related to tolls at this point in time. In fact, on the international bridges, congestion is usually the result of what is happening in one plaza or the other, with either the United States Customs and Border Protection or the Canada Border Services Agency, with all due respect. We take your money very quickly and send you down the way.
It is this predatory practice that the agency is concerned with, and the minister would be in a position to address it.
I hope I have answered your question.
