The CIRB has advised it will issue a decision without holding oral hearings.&nbsp;<br><br>This development helps provide some predictability regarding the timelines for a potential work stoppage because the parties cannot legally strike or lockout prior to the CIRB issuing its decision. In any event, a legal strike or lockout would require a minimum of 72 hours notice, subject to any extension of the cooling off period ordered by the CIRB. We have asked the CIRB to extend the cooling off period by 30 days.&nbsp;<br><br>We know supply chain stakeholders would like certainty and predictability concerning a potential work stoppage. That is also why CPKC has proposed to the TCRC that we resolve this labour dispute through binding arbitration.&nbsp;<br><br>We will continue providing stakeholders with the latest information as it becomes available.<br><br>Access all our TCRC Bargaining Updates online <a href=\"https:\/\/click.email.www.fastfrate.com\/?qs=fd36a566b51967688422b50ec681aae0308001405106e9bb3cda4bd4d44936193dc0e086b5bfdc9152babf8c05b92ce11e9c1d5bc1aa7e5c\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We want to assure you that in addition of keeping you informed, we also want to help you be prepared for any potential interruptions.
