Manitoba's Case on Freight Rates
The Royal Commission on Transportation issued its 1951 report amid debates over freight rate policy. Manitoba opposed the 1½ rule linking West Coast rates to transcontinental rates, warning it would harm eastern Manitoba industries and distort trade. Despite opposition, the rule passed and raised transcontinental rates, undermining Manitoba’s competitive position, while a separate seven million subsidy aimed to reduce long haul costs faced scrutiny and hearings.
