Mr. Speaker, the hon. member should know that it is the statutory responsibility of the Canadian Transportation Agency to take into account all the costs that railways are bearing in their operations. Therefore it was fully entitled to make the judgment it made some weeks ago.
I realize it has caused some concern with respect to people on the prairies, but as the hon. member knows we are working hard on a package to improve the competitive position of the grain farmers in the prairies. I hope that some of those savings my colleague talked about in the media some weeks ago can indeed be passed on to producers.
