Transport committee  We already have level of service protections right now, and all this does is that is just reaffirms them. You look at the needs of the shipper, and those are paramount. It's a shipper remedy. This just makes it absolutely clear and certain that's the case. The concern with the bill is to make sure that this new remedy doesn't impact what currently exists.

Transport committee  Thank you. From a lawyer's perspective, anything that's loose or requires some subjective requirements leads to litigation and expense. There's no definition of “operational”. When you deal with operational, you may exclude inadvertently other service terms, things like force majeure or other things that would be part of a standard contract.
