Mr. Speaker, I would like to welcome the member for Calgary Centre to the team, a team that knows that a competitive rail supply chain is vital to Canada's economy.
The fair rail freight service bill has already received strong support from industry across the country. Let me quote the Western Canadian Wheat Growers Association:
These measures will create the conditions for improved railway performance.... [It] will help re-balance...the business relationship between shippers and railways.
Industry can rest assured that we are getting the job done.
Air Transportation December 12th, 2012
Mr. Speaker, it is nice to hear that the NDP has a solution for snowstorms, ice storms and all other unforeseen circumstances at airports. We want all Canadian travellers to have a wonderful holiday season with their families and to be able to travel safely to wherever they need to go.
However, I have a hard time believing that the NDP member knows how to manage everything that has to do with air transportation in Canada.

Mr. Speaker, a process that began several years ago is about to come to fruition. We said that we would be tabling the railway transportation review in the fall. To the best of my knowledge, fall is over on December 21—assuming he and I are using the same calendar. We will continue to do the work we have been doing for a long time now.
This is just one more example of why the NDP thinks it can manage every company in Canada and that everything needs to depend exclusively on the government, which is not the case here. We respect the people who are appointed to run private companies. We are making sure that Canadians receive good rail service, just as they receive good services in all transportation-related sectors. That is what we are going to do.

Mr. Speaker, we have said we will introduce the rail freight review during the fall. That is what we will do.
This is another example of the NDP wanting to manage a private company on behalf of the managers who are named to it. The NDP wants to manage everything in the country. CP is a private company. It will continue to manage its own company. We will ensure our country has the best service we can provide with the support of private companies.
