Thank you, Madam Chair.
To triangulate on what we've been hearing over the last few days, particularly on the issue of interswitching—Mr. Northey, you lit the light—it seems that the competitive pressure you can put on the class I railways here in Canada is all tied up in access to the American railroads. What we heard from CN and CP is that whereas the American railroads can come and basically poach business from Canadian railways, they're not allowed to do the same. I'm just putting that out there because there may be some kind of balancing act needed.
I also wanted to touch on something else. Somebody from the grain industry was saying that they would like to move towards a demand-based framework for the supply of railcars and service and away from the supply-based framework. Supply at a fixed price equals rationing, which is everybody's problem, it seems. Has anybody done the math to figure out what the costs would look like, especially the increased costs, if we said to the railroads that we'll pay as much as it takes to get the capacity that we need?
