Canada Pushes For Larger Seaway Toll Share
WASHINGTON CANADA has pressed the United States to raise its share of St. Lawrence Seaway tolls beyond 71 percent for Canada and 29 percent for the U.S. The fight centers on interest costs and the 1959 agreement that ties distributions to annual charges. Officials say Canada’s higher financing costs justify a 72 to 73 percent cut, while the U.S. seeks to base returns on initial investments, excluding interest. The two nations aim to agree this year or next, with possible retroactive adjustments not expected.
