Court ruling blocks freight rate delay by transport commission
The Supreme Court of Canada ruled 9 to 0 that the Canadian Transport Commission exceeded its powers by delaying half of a 25 percent freight rate increase proposed by Canadian Pacific and Canadian National. Railways argued the decision cost about 168000 per day as rates had been frozen prior to Jan. 1. The commission delayed half the increase from Jan. 1 to March 1, despite railways seeking a 60 day deferral after provincial requests for talks.
