The U.S. cuts rail freight rates for Canadian steel and lumber starting spring 2026, excluding marine shipping despite its major role in trade.
The federal government will cut freight rates by 50% for rail transport of Canadian steel and lumber interprovincially starting spring 2026, but marine shipping was excluded despite moving over 100,000 tonnes of steel annually via the St. Lawrence Seaway.
Industry groups say the exclusion creates an unfair advantage for rail, threatens jobs and infrastructure, and undermines balanced transportation policy.
They stress marine shipping’s critical role in national trade, noting 80% of goods consumed in Canada arrive by water, and urge the government to correct the oversight.
