Policy Defines Grain Shipping Route Through Churchill
Ottawa reports the Canadian wheat board will not pause old wheat stocks for Churchill shipments in August and September due to overseas demand. Hon. Paul Martin stated it is too early to confirm new crop shipments via the Hudson Bay Route, noting Churchill stores of 1,877,737 bushels will depart once navigation opens. Thatcher pressed on Europe trade commission duties, but Martin said routing rests with importers and exporters choosing transport.
