Of course, long-haul interswitching is a very critical part of the new approach we are taking with respect to the movement of freight across Canada. The bill is supported by a wide range of stakeholders insofar as long-haul interswitching is concerned. It offers large benefits to captive shippers and the community at large. We're committed to working with this community to ensure that these benefits are properly understood and maximized to the fullest extent possible.
As it stands, this bill makes significant improvements to existing remedies that will benefit all captive shippers in the Maritimes and across Canada. It's important to talk about all of the things we've changed that make it a more level playing field for shippers, and not just the issue of long-haul interswitching. We feel that with all of the benefits we've put toward the shippers all across Canada, the shippers in the Maritimes are now on a level playing field with respect to moving their goods.
