That would be year by year, from 2006 forward, sector by sector, the numbers, up, down, the same, etc. That would be very much appreciated.
I also referred earlier to a trend towards carrying much more oil by rail. This has a direct bearing on the question of SMS and capacity.
Rail shipments of oil in Canada have gone from about 6,000 train carloads in 2009, to an estimated 14,500 this year.
I want to read from a main story that was published on the front page of Saturday's Globe and Mail:
...The Globe and Mail has uncovered evidence that oil shippers are exploiting the wording of a recent federal order by Transport Canada and sending most of their crude over the rails without checking first how explosive it is, and whether it is suitable for transporting on trains.
They then go on to say that “industry insiders in North Dakota”, in the Bakken oil field, from whence that oil which was ignited and blew up in Lac-Mégantic came, are saying that “very little oil is being tested, and that operating procedures remain mostly unchanged...”.
