Grain Commission proposing fee reductions

The Canadian Grain Commission is proposing fee reductions that will reduce its revenues by about 20 per cent.

The changes require amendments to legislation and a comment period will open May 22 and close June 7.

There would be a combined reduction for official inspection and weighing services fees from $1.48 to $1.05 per tonne for ships, and a cost decrease of $37.88 per official inspection and weighing services for a railway car, truck, or container. The proposed reduction comes two years before the end of the current fee review cycle.
