The way the legislation is drafted currently, the shipper files a submission on day one. Before filing a submission on day one, they have to advise the railway 15 days before that they are going to make a submission. The start of the process is the submission for arbitration on day one.
The second step in the process is 10 days later. Both parties at the same time have to file their proposal for how they propose to resolve the matters that have been referred to arbitration by the shippers. That's step two in the process.
Step three is the filing of documents to support their proposal, and that's day 20 in the process. At the same time, the railways and the shippers are expected to mutually file to each other and to the arbitrator the documents they intend to rely upon to support the offers they put on the table on day 10. After that, you get to the hearing of the matters before the arbitrator.
So other than the application itself, which is triggered obviously by the shipper, the entire process is geared to the railways and shippers acting simultaneously, through the arbitrator or before the agency.
The way I understand Liberal amendment 5, they would propose that if the railway intends to rely on anything that is captured in paragraphs (d), (e), or (f) of proposed section 169.37, on day five of the process they would have to advise the shippers, and on day 10 in the process, at the same time as the offer, they would have to file the material to the shippers.
Obviously I won't comment on the motion itself, but that's how I understand the motion to read.
