Western Canadian Wheat Growers Association is urging the federal government to take measures to hold CN and CP accountable for their performance.
Keystone Agricultural Producers is hailing the federal government’s newly introduced amendments to the Canada Transportation Act – which provide shippers with guaranteed access to service level agreements – as a good first step in improving rail service for the agriculture sector.
The federal government’s intervention in the CP rail strike affirms that rail shipping is vital to the Canadian economy, and that rail transportation of freight in Canada must be monitored and regulated, said Keystone Agricultural Producers president Doug Chorney.
