I do not know what the freight rate is. But I can tell the member what the handling charges are. If I ship a bushel of grain from my point to Seattle, compared to my point to Vancouver I will save $16.50 per tonne. If 20 million tonnes are shipped out of Canada that is $320 million that came out of the pockets of farmers, just in the elevator system. That is without the transportation system.
Someone tell me why farmers need subsidies. It is because somebody is pulling it out of their pocket faster than they can put it back in. That is not going to last forever.
