I'd like to get comments from both of you as well, and then, to conclude, touch base on Prince Rupert.

I think Prince Rupert is such an underutilized facility. Somehow, it should be able to absorb a lot of that bottleneck. If we're shipping forest products from northern Alberta to the west coast, it isn't any further to go to Prince Rupert than it is to go to Vancouver.

I'd like both of you two gentlemen to make some comments about rail costs versus efficiency, and then about Prince Rupert.
