Government intervention and regulation in the Canadian grains industry / by D.R. Harvey.: EC24-11/I-6-1981E-PDF
"Grain is the largest sector and provides the lion's share of foreign exchange earnings in the Canadian agricultural sector. The Canadian Wheat Board, the Grains Handling and Transportation System, and the Western Grains Stabilization Act are described and analyzed as they are the main institutions and legislatively sanctioned regulatory mechanisms affecting grain producers. The grains industry regulatory system which has evolved over the past half century was designed to ensure that grain producers had equality of access to grain markets which have historically been over-supplied. With a rail transportation rate fixed by law in 1898 and present the present system of regulation, the grading, collection and transportation system for grains is now unable to meet the demand of a world market which is able to absorb all of Canada's export potential"--Summary, p. xii.
