Via Rail Canada: What are the different booking classes?

Via Rail Canada: What are the different booking classes? - Collection of garments hanging on rack

Today, I tried to book a seat in a train on the Via Rail Canada Homepage.

There are 6 different booking classes:

SuperSaver
Discounted
Regular

for both Economy and Business. While I can imagine the difference between Economy and Business, I'm unsure what the other 3 booking classes are indicating. Is there any explanation for this?
