TORONTO - The Coalition of Concerned Manufacturers and Businesses of Canada (CCMBC) is calling for the federal government to restore rail service immediately. These blockades are against the law and are causing untold hardship to families across the country.
Member companies that depend on lumber shipments from the west cannot get goods. Plastics companies have rail cars of raw material stranded in the U.S. unable to make it to their plants. Propane shipments are not making their way to customers in the Maritimes both industrial, agricultural and family homes.
