Thank you, Mr. Chair, and thank you to all our witnesses for appearing here this afternoon.
Mr. Bjornson, in your testimony you referenced Bill C-49, the Transportation Modernization Act. On May 24, 2018, there was a story on the GlobeNewswire:
“This day has been a long time coming for grain shippers and the farmers we serve,” said Executive Director of the WGEA, Wade Sobkowich. “Grain shippers extend our thanks to Transport Minister Marc Garneau and Agriculture Minister Lawrence MacAulay for their leadership in bringing the Bill through the parliamentary process with the provisions that are of critical importance to the grain sector.”
With that in mind and with the perspective of several years gone by, what is your view of these reforms, what worked, what didn't work, what remains to be done and how can we do better?
