A new Order in Council set minimum weekly grain shipments for Canada’s two rail companies from August 3 through November 29, 2014, at 536,250 MT. Significant concerns were expressed by many on the effect of these mandates on rail service in the United States and the possibility that they were going to be expended beyond the November 29, 2014 expiring date. There are strong indications from the Canadian government that the minimum volume mandates imposed on the Canadian railways Canadian National (CN) and Canadian Pacific (CP) will be suspended once they expire on November 29, 2014. Uncertainty remains on how the likely suspension of the mandates will affect service along other corridors, including south to the United States.
