One of the issues raised by the opposition and certainly raised also by shippers during the discussion on Bill C-52, and we're hearing it raised again here in the discussion of Bill C-30, relates to punitive damages, liquidated damages, compensation for shippers. If I understand the opposition, and I'll try to frame this appropriately what I think I'm hearing, they're suggesting to make service level agreements mandatory, define their operational elements in the Canada Transportation Act, and add a penalty regime. It's essentially the resurrection, if you will, of the arguments made on Bill C-52. There were a number of persuasive arguments on why that was somewhat difficult. It certainly wasn't simple, and it may have some unintended consequences.
First of all, is there any other commercial regime for addressing commercial contracts where in fact liquidated damages are set out beforehand in a piece of legislation? We're dealing with commercial contracts here.
