Agriculture committee  That's certainly correct. The Goderich-Exeter railroad, for example, has just bent over backwards to try to serve us the best they can. As you know, their service terminates, I believe, in Guelph, where they interconnect with the CN. If the CN doesn't provide equipment or incoming cars or equipment for outgoing moves, there's really nothing the Goderich-Exeter railroad can do.

Agriculture committee  As has been pointed out, agriculture is tied very closely to transportation, regardless of whether it's rail or truck or containerized shipments, and vessels as well. It's all about getting it to the consumer in a timely basis and a competitive level. I recollect that years ago we had some serious issues with our railroads back in the days when CN Rail was a crown corporation.
