MPs block Crowsnest rate review in parliament
Western opposition MPs defeated the governments plan to review Crowsnest Pass grain rates by 59 to 58. Transport Minister Pickersgill warned the amendment left rates unguaranteed, while Tory MP Jack Horner argued the deal with CPR could be shady and hurt Western farmers. NDP Leader Douglas questioned the minister’s rationale, saying only a full inquiry and possible compensation would satisfy prairie farmers.
