Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I would also like to welcome all the members of the committee. Thank you also, Mr. Gaspar, for your presentation.
Please note, Mr. Chair, that I will share my time with my colleague Ken Hardie.
Mr. Gaspar, I have two related questions.
Since the Fair Rail for Grain Farmers Act was implemented, what are your observations on the effectiveness of the measures and on the transport of grain in general?
Secondly, how many times in the past two years have rail companies had to pay penalties under the revenue entitlement program and what was the total amount of the penalties paid?
