Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Mr. McGuinty has now used 11 minutes to not talk about liability today, when he asked for a meeting on liability.
That's okay, Mr. McGuinty, you can talk about information that's two years old if you wish, but I'm going to ask the witnesses different questions.
So here's a question on liability. Returning to the question of liability, how do we handle the short lines?
For the creation of a fund where there is joint liability among shippers and the railway companies, as you've suggested, perhaps even brokers or others who may be part of that supply chain, there's concern about whether short lines can manage the cost. Should they be levied in the same way that a class I railway should be? Should everybody be proportionally in at the same amount, or should they be structured differently according to their risk profile? What would you recommend, or what kind of guidance would you give us with respect to developing that?
