READY TO
Canada's
Harvest 2022 represents the most important harvest in a generation.
Consumers in Canada and around the world are counting on our Agriculture industry to step up and play a leading role in safeguarding global food security.
The entire Agricultural supply chain has a responsibility to deliver needed Canadian products to consumers at home and around the world.
Our message to the world is that Canada is ready and has the plan to show it.
Our industry has developed a 4 point plan to keep Canadian grain moving.
1. Show the Plan
Rail: CN and CP must provide detailed, transparent plans on how they plan to move grain based on the template provided by the grain sector. Containers: Container lines serving Canada should provide a clear indication of the expected capacity of their export program that will be made available each month for agriculture exports.2. Protect the Plan
The formation of an Industry/Government Labour Council to track the progress of the collective agreement negotiations. There are 12 CN and CP labour agreements that are expired or will expire in 2022 alone.3. Work the Plan
Rail: CN and CP must provide monthly updates on their plans based on the latest forecasts. Containers: Container lines serving Canada should provide monthly updates on their export program, including the expected capacity that will be made available each month for agriculture exports4. Measure and Optimize the Plan
Support the increased utilization of comprehensive performance measurement programs – such as the Ag Transport Coalition for rail – to measure how service providers are meeting their plans and outline improvements for the future.Our message to Canadian and global customers is clear: We are ready to do what's needed to feed the world.
