Proposal to Tax Foreign Rail Cars Impacts Prairie Grain Freight
The Department of Finance proposes a 17.5 percent tariff on railway hopper cars leased from outside Canada. With grain exports rising, Canada currently uses 4,300 American cars leased duty free, valued at 40 000 to 80 000 dollars each. Tariffs would raise lease costs by thousands per car and several million overall, affecting prairie freight rates. Industry input is being sought before a final decision.

Amendments proposed to protect vehicle buyers
Manitoba legislation proposes that sellers of MPIC declared salvage vehicles disclose status via signed declarations and that buyers acknowledge receipt. All MPIC public auction salvage vehicles will carry a permanent ID marking with salvage date, and marks must be reapplied after repairs with registrar approval if removed. Falsifying declarations or marks may trigger a 1000 dollar fine or 30 days in jail. buyers may rescind and obtain refunds if declarations are falsified or missing.
