International Trade committee  They haven't really got up to Canada as much. There's a little bit being done in Canada.

International Trade committee  It's the only time in our history, I think, to my knowledge, that we've done that. It was a farmer's land that our company had actually owned for 10 to 15 years, and we were forced to go through that full process and then go through the courts for it as well.

International Trade committee  For the rails, very briefly, we've only started in the last couple of years, and you'll see us apply for capacity expansions in our network. That's key where we're doing it now, and you'll see more of that in the future.

International Trade committee  On the rail side I'll say it's the fact that we don't have a business case for it. You don't have business attached to it. Everything has a return on its investment. We don't have customers specifically asking for it until they need it. By then it's too late and it takes a long

International Trade committee  That's a tough one to answer, because it's all about commercial agreements between the big guy and the small guy. We're the guy in the middle who doesn't see either one, so I'd hate to say there's an easy solution there.

International Trade committee  For the port of Montreal, we move out one freight train every day. Basically, it contains Toronto, Detroit, and Chicago freight. I get a daily report that says where we are on container storage waiting to leave in the port of Montreal, so I'll say as of today, in the four termi

International Trade committee  We do not at all, from the supply chain side. I know they've had lots of labour issues there over time in the different terminals, but they don't, once it's on a rail car or once it's out of the gate on a truck.

International Trade committee  We've been trying to add the inputs. A great example is in Toronto itself. We did have to constrain because the terminal was absolutely full. If we didn't do that, then we'd shut down. We've been trying to get a second terminal up in Toronto at Milton for eight years now. That

International Trade committee  Digitalization is a great answer: You need digitalization to be able to automate. One of the few things that will really help is further automation within the entire supply chain, and that goes from the ports to the railways to the trucking industry. As that happens, you'll get r

International Trade committee  Just-in-time delivery doesn't allow for any hiccups in the supply chain, so it's a great question. Just-in-time delivery means that everything has to work perfectly or else something backs up, or else there has to be some capacity in the supply chain. I'll say there is a littl
