Alberta rancher decries Hall Commission delay on grain fixes
Medicine Hat rancher Renny Lehr blasted Ottawa for delaying action on the Hall Commission’s 92 recommendations to ease Western grain bottlenecks. He argued using vacant government elevators and funding railways to cover transport gaps would speed shipments and cut losses. Lehr noted empty hopper cars and urged immediate use of proven measures rather than new studies.
