Western Grain Elevator Association (WGEA) has raised concerns the Port of Vancouver’s conflict as both a regulator and operator. The WGEA is urging the federal government to update the Canada Marine Act that governs port authorities to ensure that the port runs efficiently while keeping costs in check. Among the WGEA asks are an adequate appeal and independent dispute resolution process. The WGEA’s members are Canada’s biggest grain companies who handle more than 90 per cent of the nation’s bulk grain exports.
