One step up the supply chain, at the small business level, Peacock said the impacts would be even worse. Restaurants often rely on rail services to import fresh food and beverages and non-food related businesses rely on the transportation method to send and receive products, parts and essential materials.

Restaurants Canada also issued a statement, noting that 47 per cent of restaurants are currently operating at a loss or breaking even. Depending on how long a potential railway strike lasts, Peacock said the impacts would be disastrous for B.C.'s economy. It could also harm Canada's reputation as a major transporter on a global scale – something Peacock said the country has worked hard to build over the last two decades.
