Thank you, Madam Chair.
I would comment first off that the session that we've been having this past week has been very non-political and today that changed, which is giving me the opportunity to respond. I want to make three points based on Mr. Blaney's comments.
If in fact Bill C-30 was good legislation, why did the previous government also introduce the sunset clause? The second point is why did we hear loud and clear from the witnesses criticizing long-haul interswitching during the fair rail for grain farmers study? Lastly, why did the previous government also take it upon itself to commission David Emerson to review the system, as well as propose long-term solutions as seen in Bill C-30?
My apologies, but I had to correct the record.
