I have two points, if I may. First of all, let me just say we've left a copy with each of you of the March study that I was referencing—that's the blue document. That really demonstrates clearly, I think, that the entire marine corridor is a key driver of activity in Ontario and Quebec, in particular.
Within that, you're making reference to the increase in trucks, and we too are growing. I mentioned the 9% improvement last year, and already it's 4% this year to date. That was with a rather difficult opening to the season with a lot of ice, as my partners at the table here fully understand. We expect a pretty robust fall, and we're on track for further significant growth this year. I think all the modes at the moment are growing.
I'm not sure what CN's growth is, Andrew, but I know you're growing as well this year from last year.
Then it's a question of modal shift in particular with the trucks and what we can do to facilitate more modal shifting. That's really the nub of your question.
I think there are a number of things, particularly at the provincial level, that we can do from a policy perspective. We can perhaps look at some incentives and maybe even disincentives. The Quebec government, if you're not aware, has a very progressive maritime strategy in place. They recognize these environmental benefits and economic benefits that I spoke of. They're very keen to facilitate that modal shift, and to the extent that the federal government can be engaged in that process, there may be some taxing mechanisms that could be deployed here as well. There is an opportunity, I think, even at the federal level to facilitate some of that shifting.
