Plain-language summary · AI-assisted

The order that required CN Rail and CP Rail each to move a minimum of 536,250 tonnes of grain per week has been repealed by operation of law. The substantive provisions—including the weekly tonnage requirement and the definition of a 'week'—no longer appear in the consolidated text. Railway operators and grain shippers who previously tracked compliance against this order should note it is no longer in force. No replacement minimum-tonnage requirement is introduced by this change.
