This week the Federal Government introduced the Fair Rail Freight Service Act bill that will give companies that ship goods by rail the right to a service agreement with railways.
Impact on the Canadian Forest Industry
The Forest Products Association of Canada (FPAC) believes that the new Fair Rail Freight Service Act is moving in the right direction to help shippers retain and create jobs for the benefit of the Canadian economy. The legislation was tabled after years of complaints by rail customers about inefficient and inadequate service from the railway monopoly.
