Thank you, Madam Chair.
I have one question. Mr. Emerson, you spoke about short-lines and not enough attention being paid to their role. I know that in my municipality, in Barrie, for example, the municipality owns a short-line. In many cases, it's a much cheaper alternative for local businesses to get their goods to a class 1 line so they can be moved down the line. There are some significant capital costs required to maintain the line crossings, rail maintenance, etc.
I'm just wondering if you can expand on that. What attention needs to be paid to ensure that the short-lines many municipalities rely on are made viable or remain viable?
