| (1) Oligopoly in Railway Transport | - A menber firm's subsidiary (MFS) ships the bulk of its products across the continent by railway transport, which forms an oligopoly by two firms, Canadian National (CN) and Canadian Pacific Railways (CP). Their tariff and operational policies severely impact MFS's profitability and business operation. In response to the complaints filed by the users, including business associations, and with the participation of the Federal Government, the discussions are now under way, concerning introduction of the Control Scheme, which is geared toward improvement. | - It is requested that with the view to slackening oligopoly and to protect the users' interest, GOC materialises as soon as possible its substantive policy. | |
