Peter Touesnard, OmniTrax's chief commercial officer, said a lawsuit will delay the transfer of the railway to new owners.  Of course Peter Touesnard said this because he is in breach of a contract and he doesn't want to spend the money to repair the railway.  They shouldn't have signed the contract.  You are under contract so fix it!  

In a deal reached with Ottawa and Manitoba in 2008, OmniTrax agreed to operate and maintain the rail line until 2029 in exchange for about $40-million.  OmniTrax got their $40 million so if you aren't going to hold up your end of the contract give back the $40 million dollars!
