OTTAWA, ON – February 11, 2020 – Today, the Canadian Chamber of Commerce issued the following statement regarding ongoing rail service disruptions.
“From propane to grain and food and consumer items, Canada’s supply chains are being severely damaged by the continuing interruptions to Canada’s rail services by protestors.
The rail system affects the entire Canadian economy and Canadians everywhere, including people trying to get to and from work. They must be allowed to continue to serve the thousands of businesses that depend on them.
We call on all levels of government and law enforcement to work together to bring an immediate end to the blockades and to restore all rail service.”
