Evidence of meeting #60 for Transport, Infrastructure and Communities in the 41st Parliament, 1st Session. (The original version is on Parliament’s site, as are the minutes.) The winning word was grain.
A recording is available from Parliament.

Representative, Coalition of Rail Shippers, and Executive Director, Western Grain Elevator Association
This is where we're at today. The railways enjoy this much power; shippers enjoy this much power. The legislation we're looking for with the amendments we propose would bring it up to somewhere in there.
5:15 p.m.
Chair, Western Canadian Shippers' Coalition
My two cents' worth is that we need the railways as much as they need us. They are vital to our business. We don't want to harm them; we just want to get them to behave better.

Thank you.
With that, I want to thank all of you for coming here today. Obviously by the crowd we had here, there was a lot of interest in this. We appreciate all of you taking the time to be here.
The meeting is adjourned.
