I'm curious as to the department's view on this. It strikes me that when the interswitching of 160 kilometres was developed, there was serious consideration about how much of the grain that needed to be moved was within 160 kilometres of an interchange point. I don't know what the infrastructure is like in northern Ontario, for example, and whether 160 kilometres makes sense at all. I assume, given the consultation process that went on with the minister, towards which many of the witnesses were very complimentary, that the figure he landed on for long-haul interswitching of 1,200 is no coincidence.
Can you elaborate on whether 160 kilometres is a workable distance, given our geography and infrastructure across Canada in different regions?
