""We looked at different scenarios-whether it's a single railway or both-to get a real firm assessment of what the cost is. Clearly, our goal is to eventually prevent these kinds of things from happening.""
""More than 90 percent of the economic impact from transportation disruptions comes from lost export sales, which typically cannot be recovered once shipments are missed.""
A recent economic analysis reveals that a week of disruption in railway and port operations could drain up to $540 million from Canada's grain sector. The Agriculture Transport Coalition commissioned this study to assess the impact of labor disruptions, particularly following a significant dual-railway stoppage in 2024. The report indicates that over 90% of the economic impact stems from lost export sales, which are often unrecoverable. Additionally, uncertainty surrounding labor disputes can lead to $112 million in lost sales even before a work stoppage occurs.
