Transport committee  At this time, I wouldn't be able to answer that question. My understanding is that it would actually depend on the transition plans of the terminal. I would defer to colleagues at ECCC or NRCan, who may be more familiar with that process.

Transport committee  I am not aware of any consultations with U.S. officials with respect to this proposed amendment.

Transport committee  I wouldn't be well placed to answer that question. I would have to defer to colleagues in other departments regarding any analysis under the WTO rules.

Transport committee  I believe it's ILWU at Prince Rupert. I'm not sure of the bargaining agent at Thunder Bay. To the best of my knowledge, I'm not aware of any conversations with the union in that regard.

Transport committee  I'm not aware of any conversations that Transport Canada would have had, but I would defer to colleagues at ECCC about whether or not they've had conversations.

Transport committee  I don't have that information, unfortunately.

Transport committee  The information that we have for coal in general is that it would be over 417,000 carloads of coal, but I don't have the breakdown between thermal and metallurgical.
