Seven Provinces Demand Royal Commission On Rail Rates
Seven provinces pressed for a royal commission to study Canada’s freight rate principles and potentially review the March 21 per cent rail rate increase. Five premiers and two provincial ministers told the federal cabinet they faced two options: pursue an appeal to the governor in council or seek a royal commission empowered to revise rate making. They argued the commission is the only path to a proper, uniform freight-rate framework and criticized current transport-board reforms as inadequate.
