Thank you very much.
I appreciate the feedback. I can start by saying that I appreciate the strategic role that the rail industry plays in the economy. I accept in general terms the notion that deregulation over the course of the last 30 years has led to prosperous circumstances for the economy and of course for the rail industry as well.
I think we might part ways to a degree on whether there was somewhat of a market failure involving captive shippers and on what “captive” really means. I think it was Mr. Clements who said that we have the safest, most efficient, environmentally friendly, and low-cost transportation system in rail, potentially in the world. I forget the way you phrased it.
From the government's perspective, if I want to encourage more people to use a safe, cost-effective, environmentally friendly way to transport goods at a low cost, I'm wondering why trucking, for example, is the right comparator group.
