International Trade committee  We'll do that, and we'll send it to the committee as well.

International Trade committee  We have not yet submitted a list. The briefing we've received is that we're at a very preliminary stage, because the U.S. has not put substantive proposals forward yet in many areas. We'll probably have to study that and see what particular areas we'd like to expand that in, but

International Trade committee  The market will adjust, as it adjusts.

International Trade committee  Our largest companies tend to be integrated in North America. Some are based in Canada, like Agrium and the Potash Corporation. Some are based in the United States, but have very significant assets in Canada. I think one of the interesting things about our industry is that senior

International Trade committee  This is an area that I think we would like to protect and possibly enhance. It does exist. There is a degree of labour mobility within the NAFTA. We think that's a good thing for Canadians and Americans, and in certain industries, for Mexican employees. We'd like that to continue

International Trade committee  It is interesting. As I was preparing for this brief, I looked at that recommendation, and it's the one that I probably know the least about. Essentially, I think it's that there is a system for determining the kinds of chemicals and we need a harmonization of that. We can send

International Trade committee  If you wanted me to respond on climate change briefly, we are working with the federal government and the provinces to get achievable targets for reduction for our industry. We have limits on that because of the engineering and the science of ammonia production and potash product

International Trade committee  To conclude, appropriately enough, I want to thank the members of the committee for this opportunity to present our views. In summary, our recommendations are to protect the interests of our farmer customers across North America who depend on cost-effective fertilizer products

International Trade committee  Thank you, Mr. Eyking and members of Parliament. Thank you for the introduction. Thank you also for inviting Fertilizer Canada to speak with you today in relation to the state of trade among Canada, the United States, and Mexico. We are pleased to appear before you and to provid

Transport committee  There are around 200 in some trains of the Teamsters. There are unit trains in that magnitude.

Transport committee  I'm just a fertilizer guy. The economy works together best when businesses collaborate, and there are a lot of players in the whole supply chain that moves products in and out of Canada. Obviously, having forecasts of what we're going to be doing with our business and where we'r

Transport committee  Thank you for your question. What we're talking about here, in this bill, is the exclusion for toxic inhalation goods, which includes ammonia. There's no safety reason for this. We're not sure what that exclusion was done for. Other dangerous goods are not excluded, so there ca

Transport committee  We have not been given any persuasive rationale by the government, and it appears from our point of view to have been an arbitrary decision. There's no safety reason to do this, and I don't know why our products would be discriminated on that basis.

Transport committee  That's what our brief says. We believe that this is a dangerous precedent. It could be applied to other aspects of the movement of our products, particularly ammonia, by rail. We don't think the railways should be allowed to pick and choose what they move. That's not their job. T

Transport committee  Good evening, Madam Chair and members of the committee. Thank you for inviting Fertilizer Canada to speak with you today in relation to your study on the transportation modernization act. We are pleased to appear before you to provide the committee with information about our ma
