In this regard, the Trade and Transportation Corridors Initiative plays an extremely important role. Take the port of Vancouver on the west coast as an example. It receives a lot of ships from Japan, which imports a lot of grain from Canada. The Japanese companies insist—and this is normal—that their ships be allowed to go to the terminal when they arrive, that they be filled and then they leave. For these companies, the quality of the product—about which there is no doubt—is important, but so is its availability, given that they have to meet very tight deadlines.
In Canada, we sometimes face challenges in the transportation of grain, which comes primarily from the west. About 20% of grain comes from the east, but the remaining 80% comes from the west. There are mountains, floods, rains, avalanches and a lot of those kinds of things, but there are also challenges when trains are slowed down by road traffic. Fifty or 100 years ago, trains dominated transportation, but now the cities and towns slow down their traffic, especially when they come into the area known as the Lower Mainland. We're trying to remove barriers so that trains can get to the port more quickly, because we're trying to be efficient. That's one example.
