Mr. Speaker, clause 2 of this very short bill deals with the issue of allowing under the WGTA for demurrage and storage charges for grain that is being stored on rail cars to be levied against the railway. How does the hon. member opposite see this being implemented? Will it be used? If so, how often?
We know that rail cars are used for storage in many cases and certainly the system is not efficient. There is an average turnaround time of 20 days or more, the same as 80 years ago. How does the hon. member see this part of the bill being used to ensure quicker turnaround and more efficiency in the rail system?
