Denis Coderre at the Transport, Infrastructure and Communities Committee

Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you, gentlemen.

My question will be for Mr. Stewart and Mr. Edwards. Because that's the reason we have Bill C-52, do you believe the law would give shippers more leverage to negotiate service agreements? You could have the railways saying they don't need that and some of the ports saying, well, they already have the commercial agreements, so why bother? From a shipper's point of view, what would you think?

I'll ask Mr. Edwards first.
