Mr. Speaker, the Liberals have promised job, jobs and more jobs. Now the Prince Rupert grain terminal has announced that it will be shutting down its operations temporarily on June 15, throwing 91 employees out of work.
While the grain terminals cut costs, CN Rail, the Canadian Wheat Board and the Prince Rupert Port Corporation have failed to provide a competitive, efficient service that would see more grain going through Prince Rupert.
Why has the government which is responsible for the Canadian Wheat Board, the Prince Rupert Port Corporation and the new Canadian Transportation Act failed to implement efficiencies that would keep Canada's closest grain terminal to the Pacific rim open for business?
