Justice Donald Rennie stated, "It is impossible to rationalize a finding of contempt with the facts... CPKC took meaningful steps toward compliance." This highlights the judge's view on the substantial efforts made by the company to adhere to legal standards.
The ruling reinstates the notion that companies can demonstrate compliance by implementing changes, as articulated by Justice Rennie's comments that contradicted a previous lower court found for contempt.
Canadian Pacific expressed satisfaction with the acquittal, indicating that the court's judgment affirms their compliance efforts despite the Teamsters union's disappointment and claims of routine violations.
The Teamsters union responded to the ruling by emphasizing their long-standing concerns, stating that violations of collective agreements have been frequent, which they believe undermines worker rights.
