Absolutely. The issue was rejected--recommendation 45--for trade reasons, as Mr. Bourdon said, talking about GATT and NAFTA. But the truth of the matter is that America has already rejected Canadian companies from doing exactly what one American company is trying to do now--take a short-line railroad's RTC work down to the United States.
We're all for fair trade and sometimes free trade. However, if the security provisions apply for Americans and they are using them as reasons, I think exactly the same security reasons should apply here. If an incident occurs, surely to goodness the Canadian public would want to know that it was a Canadian, secured by Canada, who could be hauled right to this committee, or anywhere else, to talk about it. I'm not sure that if something happens you will get an American to come up here and sit before you.
