Thank you, Mr. Chair.

I have a question for Mr. Paddon.

As Mr. Mayes mentioned, the cruise lines are moving out of Vancouver to Seattle just for $300 a passenger. When we talk about the second train that you mentioned from Seattle to Vancouver and CBSA, this government is going to charge $1,200 a train. Amtrak is putting a lot of money on their side. What is your opinion? Do you think that $1,200 should be waived to encourage that second train goal?
