Book Description
This paper was prepared by federal government officials to facilitate further discussion on a number of important issues related to the efficiency of the grain transportation and handling system. The paper discusses the cost development, freight rates, and payments under the Western Grain Transportation Act; branch line rationalization; the use of the Churchill and the St. Lawrence Seaway terminals and ports; freight rate level and structure; government commitment; and such other issues as car allocation, demurrage, double subsidization of grain movements, cross hauls, joint line rates and reciprocal agreements, and statutory review. The impact of the proposals and the linkages between efficiencies and change in method of payment are also addressed.

Book Description
The first section of this document is a letter to the federal Minister of Transport from the facilitator charged with the task of achieving consensus among various stakeholders & working groups on resolving issues related to implementation of a new system for handling & transporting western Canadian grain. The letter offers observations about issues on which divided views are set out in the stakeholder's report that forms the second section. The stakeholder's report begins with background on the western grain handling & transportation system, related government policies, regulatory reform, and the 1998 report by Justice Estey that made recommendations for a less-regulated, more accountable, and more competitive system. It then reviews the stakeholder process and the problems with the current system. Finally, it discusses issues relating to a revenue cap, tariff structure, railway competition & safeguards, branch line abandonment, producer-owned grain cars, the transportation role of the Canadian Wheat Board, and efficiency gains to producers. The annex includes a summary of Estey report recommendations. The remaining sections are reports from three working groups on rates & revenues, commercial relations, and railway competition & safeguards. The working group reports include discussion of relevant grain handling & transportation issues, comments on the Estey report recommendations, and their own recommendations for reform.
