Dan Mazier is happy with the passage of the Transportation Modernization Act in the Senate during its second reading.
The legislation is to help resolve the current grain backlog plaguing the ag industry.
Mazier traveled to Ottawa earlier this year to speak to the committee responsible and pushed for certain amendments.
He is happy the bill passed with all the amendments KAP supported.
“Pressuring the long haul inter-switching; adding soybeans to the schedule 2, known as the maximum revenue entitlement list; and the most important one the motion of power, the ability for the Canadian Transportation Agency to actually investigate problems switchers are having without have to issue a formal complaint.”
There are still some steps to do before the bill passes by June, but it’s heading back for a third reading.
