Port of Churchill must remain public with farmer first plan
Dean Harder of Lowe Farm MB calls for a public ownership model replacing Omnitrax for Churchill facilities. He urges federal and provincial commitment to perpetual rail and port investment, a grain basin fed by CN and CPR, secure storage, priority railcar allocation, and a grain logistics oversight and farmer friendly marketing agency to reach at least 500 000 tonnes annually. Churchill as a national asset.
