Paper Excellence Thanks Government of Saskatchewan for Support on Railway Service Issue

Print Print this Article | Send to Colleague

On February 11, Paper Excellence first publicly raised serious concerns about poor rail service provided by CN Rail. Full CN rail service is critical to moving products from Meadow Lake Mechanical Pulp mill to global markets. While rail service has not yet improved, Paper Excellence has appreciated the recent advocacy the Saskatchewan government has undertaken with the federal government and the Minister of Transport, Minister Alghabra.

Specifically, Minister Fred Bradshaw has written a strong letter to Minister Alghabra that raises the rail challenges we, and many other industries, continue to face, and we would like to thank the Minister for doing that.

Saskatchewan's economy relies significantly on rail companies to transport goods to market, and we look forward to the government's continued support in rectifying, as soon as possible, the ongoing lack of CN rail service that continues to negatively impact our business operations.
