First, I'll talk about the exclusion, because you referenced that. Teck is the second-largest exporter of steelmaking coal in the world. Our main competitor is in Australia. We service customers all over the world, including in China, Asia, North and South America, and Europe. It's basically just a fact that the geographic exclusions for long-haul interswitching will bar our five southeast B.C. steelmaking coal mines from utilizing that remedy. Under the current draft, it just won't be an option for us.
In fact, it is our view that will serve to further cement our captivity to the rail carrier, which in this case happens to be CP, for those mines. They export approximately 28 million tonnes a year. I referenced that we're the largest user of rail in the country as a company, not as a commodity but as a company.
So yes, long-haul interswitching under the current drafted legislation will not be a remedy for us. We will continue to rely on things like final-offer arbitration.
Does that answer that part of the question?
