Manitoba Freight Rates Debate and Board Findings
Manitoba urged equal cents per hundred pounds reduction on all commodities not on special rates, arguing against percentage-based cuts used by other provinces. In April the Board issued a compromise: 2.5 percent cut plus 5.8 cents per hundred pounds, with some commodities excluded. Canada Steamship Lines appealed to the Supreme Court, while the Board moved to end restricted carload privileges and adopt open mixing nationwide. The March 1952 rate conference and plans for spring 1953 regional hearings aim to draft a new rate structure, reflecting Manitoba’s views as recorded with the Board.
