Thank you.
I want to talk a little bit also on the question of the confidential contracts that have been signed in good faith. As a businessman myself, I believe very much in the free enterprise system, our open market, in which we negotiate contracts. As a businessman, I'd be very upset no matter who the third party was who would step in and say that a contract I've signed, whichever side of the party I'm on, would be basically null and void and I'd have to start all over again because somebody has come in with a new process.
Would you agree that, again, it just comes back to the fact that for commercial contracts, being the desired methodology, we already have those in place? Why would we start to renew commercial contracts that we have today in order to facilitate somebody getting into an arbitration procedure? They've obviously negotiated a contract they were happy with at a point in time.
I would never sign a contract that I wasn't happy with. It might not be the contract I'd love to have, but it would be a contract I'm happy with and could live with, not a contract that necessarily ultimately meets all my goals. Any business negotiation is basically two parties going back and forth and coming to somewhat of a compromise at all points.
Would you agree that the free market approach we're bringing forward here is really in the best interests of Canadian business, both shippers and rail, and both are being brought into a position where they can use their strengths to the best of their ability to help drive economic growth in the country?
