Of course, as a member of the transport committee, I remember your interventions there. I'm now the parliamentary secretary for transport, so I'm able to sit in on this one.
I want to go to the question of liquidated damages. I have to tell you, I'm conflicted. I'm sympathetic when I hear the plight of producers in western Canada—believe me—of the difficulties of facing regional monopolies or duopolies in terms of your carriage, and the problems that may pose to you. But on the other hand, I come from the auto industry. If I'm a small tier-three supplier producing tooling for somebody who does auto parts for a major OEM and a truck fails to deliver my product and I lose a contract, I believe I'm in need or deserving of compensation. I don't get to go to an arbitrator. I don't get to go to some government agency, and I certainly don't have a statute to point to that gives me liquidated damages in the event of a breach of contract.
Why should we be doing this for you and not for others? If it is for you, how do we say no to everyone else who would obviously want a very similar regime? Hey, why go to court, right?
