KAP Submission – Shortline Rail Survey

KAP members who rely on shortline railways have expressed concern over the lack of government funding made available for this rail class. Shortlines are a critical part of the supply chain and KAP advocates that both the provincial and federal government make funds available for shortline infrastructure investments. Adequate funding ensures that shortline rail companies have the opportunity to expand market share while at the same time creating a safe and efficient rail network.

KAP will continue to advocate for the valuable role shortline railways play in the province. KAP encourages further dialogue between industry and government to ensure the sustainable growth of shortline railways that will be beneficial and advantageous for all stakeholders.

KAP News Release – KAP Disappointed the Federal Carbon Tax Continues to Ignore the Contribution of Farmers

NEWS RELEASE

December 21, 2020

Today KAP called on Minister Bibeau to support Canadian farmers and stand up to her government’s recently announced carbon tax increase.

“Putting in place an exemption for fuel used for drying grain and heating and cooling barns, just like the one in place for greenhouses, is a start,” said KAP president Bill Campbell. “We also need recognition that carbon tax costs are embedded in every aspect of the food supply chain, from inputs to production to marketing, and the proposed tax increase will put unnecessary pressure on farmers and consumers.”

“What is also missing from this announcement is recognition of the climate benefits that farmers provide every day, including carbon storage and green house gas mitigation,” said Campbell.
