Thank you. It's a great question.
We met several years ago. We have maritime port councils, which are us, the teamsters and different unions that operate marine, rail and trucking, the whole scenario. During the meeting we had several years ago, we looked at the possibility of that intermodal method of moving cargo through the system. All of the unions agreed that, in order to get things running and get things maintained, we have to look at compromises. We have to look at long-term labour agreements and we have to look at stability.
When it comes to labour, labour is all on board. We want to see it get done. We see we're missing the boat—pardon the pun. Right now we see containers moving straight through the canal into the Port of Cleveland at a lower rate.
When we look at transshipments, when we look at the Port of Montreal, which container-wise is full, we have to move those containers to this area and give us the opportunity to then ship them by rail or truck down into the U.S. Midwest. We can do that more cheaply and probably more efficiently than they do bringing them on the east coast of the United States. Excuse me, my U.S. partners.
That's how we see labour playing a role. We want long-term agreements in place in order to move the logistics hub along, to get things moving, to get things rolling and to make sure that it's stable. We're committed to doing it. You can't face a situation where you have labour trouble every few years.
