One of the things that keep vessels at anchorage instead of at the port, instead of loading or unloading, is the fact that the Port of Vancouver is one of the few jurisdictions in the world that I am aware of, if not the only jurisdiction, that cannot load grain in the rain. This is a long-time problem that has come as a result of safety concerns. Other ports that have the same safety concerns on the west coast of North America have managed to come up with a way to load grain in the rain.
It rains here. It's raining here today in British Columbia. It rains about 170 days a year.
How is it that this bill doesn't provide for a solution to loading grain in the rain, when that is such a barrier to supply chain efficiency at the port of Vancouver?
