Thank you for that question, because the differences between the U.S. and Canada when it comes to support for short lines has been an ongoing issue for some time.
Today, we have CN and CP, which are the two class I's in Canada with us. They have the capacity and the ability to reinvest in our infrastructure at a fairly high rate. As I mentioned, 20% to 25% of the revenues on an annual basis go back into supporting their infrastructure renewal. Unfortunately, the short lines don't have the room to make that kind of investment; they don't have that capability.
What we have been advocating for, Ms. Gladu, is a dedicated program similar to the one that exists in the United States. These are state and federal programs aimed at providing support specifically to short-line railways to ensure that they continue to reinvest in infrastructure and their rolling stock in order to keep up with the demands they see in that first and last mile connection back to the class I's in the U.S. We believe these types of programs have proven to be very beneficial to short lines in the U.S., and we've been advocating for similar programs in Canada.
I will give a shout out to the—
