It was extremely collaborative. Many of the amendments brought forward were wordsmithed and shaped in order to bring this forward.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5381171\" data-originallang=\"en\"> One of the primary things we tried to do was understand what the previous government had tried to accomplish with Bill <a data-HoCid=\"6477802\" href=\"/bills/41-2/C-30/\" title=\"An Act to amend the Canada Grain Act and the Canada Transportation Act and to provide for other measures\">C-30</a>. We discovered that the interswitching provision of 150 kilometres, in spite of the difficulties being faced by grain shippers in the season it was brought forward, was never actually used. It did not work. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5381172\" data-originallang=\"en\">Although the intention was there to improve the system, our committee focused on ways to take that concept and make it a lot better. I am going to give my hon. friend another opportunity to really underscore the value of the reciprocal penalties as being a far more potent tool for shippers to have, and through the shippers, the producers, in order to get compliance and co-operation from the railways.</p>",
        "fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"5381170\" data-originallang=\"en\">Monsieur le Pr\u00e9sident, \u00e0 titre de membre du comit\u00e9, je peux certainement confirmer les dires du secr\u00e9taire parlementaire. Il y a eu \u00e9norm\u00e9ment de collaboration au comit\u00e9. Bon nombre des amendements pr\u00e9sent\u00e9s ont \u00e9t\u00e9 pens\u00e9s et formul\u00e9s dans le but de faire progresser l'\u00e9tude de cette mesure l\u00e9gislative. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5381171\" data-originallang=\"en\"> Nous nous sommes principalement employ\u00e9s \u00e0 comprendre ce que le gouvernement pr\u00e9c\u00e9dent avait cherch\u00e9 \u00e0 accomplir avec le projet de loi <a data-HoCid=\"6477802\" href=\"/bills/41-2/C-30/\" title=\"An Act to amend the Canada Grain Act and the Canada Transportation Act and to provide for other measures\">C-30</a>. Nous avons d\u00e9couvert que les dispositions portant la distance d'interconnexion \u00e0 150 kilom\u00e8tres n'ont jamais \u00e9t\u00e9 appliqu\u00e9es, en d\u00e9pit des difficult\u00e9s auxquelles ont \u00e9t\u00e9 confront\u00e9s les exp\u00e9diteurs de grain \u00e0 l'\u00e9poque. Cette mesure n'a pas fonctionn\u00e9. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5381172\" data-originallang=\"en\">L'intention \u00e9tait bel et bien d'am\u00e9liorer le syst\u00e8me. Notre comit\u00e9 a repris cet objectif et s'est employ\u00e9 \u00e0 faire beaucoup mieux. Je vais donner \u00e0 mon estim\u00e9 coll\u00e8gue l'occasion de vraiment souligner la valeur des sanctions r\u00e9ciproques, qui constituent un outil nettement plus efficace \u00e0 la disposition des exp\u00e9diteurs, et par ricochet, \u00e0 la disposition des producteurs, pour que les chemins de fer respectent leurs engagements et collaborent. </p>"
