Thank you very much, Madam Chair.
Thank you to our witnesses. It is great to have such a diverse panel before us. We've heard from some other producers and also from the railways, and I think it's really great to hear from the mining association, the chemistry association, and some other producer groups.
I think what we have heard from our producer groups is that interswitching has been an effective tool for them in leveraging competition. As Mr. de Kemp pointed out, it has taken a monopoly and turned it into a duopoly.
Over time, as I have met with different stakeholders, I've asked whether the 160-kilometre link implemented in Bill C-30 has been beneficial to commodities of all types. The act itself is called the Fair Rail for Grain Farmers Act. I'd like you to comment on not only the interswitching measure that was due to sunset but also the other measures that were due to sunset. Also, are there elements in Bill C-30 that you would want to see applied across the board to commodities other than just grain?
