Mr. Speaker, three things ought to be pointed out. First, nothing in what I said was anti-union, quite the contrary. It is not anti-union to want and try to protect jobs in short-line railways. All claims to the contrary are false.
Second, as for the moratorium, the hon. member is aware that a parliamentary task force has just started a study on the whole issue of rail transportation in Canada. This task force will tour several Canadian cities and will report to the Minister of Transport.
The Minister of Transport will surely table this report in the House of Commons. So, if the hon. member is talking about a consultation process, we do have one where parliamentarians are meeting with the industry, rail users, employees and employers.
Mr. Speaker, there is a task force which is ably chaired by the hon. member for Kenora-Rainy River.
