The pending disruption of Canada’s two national rail carriers, CN and CPKC, poses a significant risk to our industries and the broader Canadian economy and even our natural environment. Not only does a prolonged work stoppage threaten our international reputation, but places upward pressure on inflation and the cost of consumer goods thereby threatening our national food security. For this reason, we are urging the Minister to consider using section 107 of the Canada Labour Code to direct the CIRB to help parties reach an agreement under binding arbitration.
