Agriculture committee  This is Carsten Bredin with Richardson International. I can speak to that question. I think it's a relevant question and a very important one. As a company we contract grain with farmers. We contract it for particular delivery periods. We manage that very well. We watch it closely, because we definitely want to honour all of our delivery commitments.

Agriculture committee  I think the penalty in the contract is that you can't service your farmer by telling him you're going to move his grain and then not move it. We have a relationship with the growers in western Canada and we respect that. That's the livelihood of our business. Those companies that perform well and move the grain when they tell the farmer they're going to move it are going to get that farmer's business year after year.

Agriculture committee  It's Carsten Bredin with Richardson International. I think it's very safe to say that we have a strong demand off the west coast out of Canada, and we're maximizing the amount of grain that we flow out of that corridor today. The eastern market through the St. Lawrence and through Thunder Bay definitely has some additional capacity.
