The Supreme Court of Canada will hear final arguments in a three year dispute over a September 20 percent rail rate rise.

Crow's Nest Pass freight rate battle heats up in Canada
Western grain interests, prairie governments and the Canadian Pacific Railway brace for a new round of hearings after the royal commission set January 15 as the deadline for opposing briefs on whether the special low western rates should remain in force. Renewed clashes are expected after the commission resumes January 30 following a six week recess. The Dec. 2 ruling narrowed the scope of the CPR challenge, excluding the board from judging railway profits on the rates.
