Canadian Pacific Kansas City (CP.TO, CP) is gearing up to restart railway operations in Canada. This move comes after the Canadian Minister of Labour announced his intention to utilize his authority under Section 107 of the Canada Labour Code. This will compel the Canada Industrial Relations Board (CIRB) to implement final binding arbitration, thereby allowing railway operations to resume immediately.

Canadian Pacific Kansas City has confirmed that it will comply with the CIRB's mandate once the Minister's directive is issued. The company’s teams are already making preparations for a safe and orderly restart of its rail network. Additional timing details will be provided upon receipt of the CIRB's order.

Keith Creel, President and CEO of Canadian Pacific Kansas City, commented, "The government has acted to protect Canada's national interest. While we regret the necessity of government intervention, we fundamentally believe in and respect collective bargaining. However, the magnitude of this situation required decisive action."
