Thank you.
I'm trying to get this balanced between all of the participants in the discussions we're having. The railways mentioned reciprocal agreements—reciprocity with our American counterparts. They stated, if I understood correctly, that because this doesn't currently exist, first, the asset management requirements cannot be satisfied. Second, they are forced to shut down and abandon lines that, because of the service requirements in some areas, would then be picked up by short-line operators, which, I might add, have limited capital resources. Finally, their competitiveness is affected, and this is something I'll leave open for interpretation.
When it comes to reciprocity, what are your thoughts? Keep in mind that we're trying to get a balance here. This goes to Mr. Fraser's question about trying to establish a balance between the railways, the shippers, and those who rely on the service. What are your comments on the reciprocity?
