Dennis Darby, president and CEO of Canadian Manufacturers & Exporters, joins BNN Bloomberg to discuss the potential economic impact of a possible rail stoppage.
The province’s forest sector relies on rail to transport lumber and other forestry products across North America and to ports for overseas shipments. A rail stoppage by Canadian National Railway Co. and Canadian Pacific Kansas City Ltd. — expected just after midnight New York time if the companies can’t reach a deal with unionized workers — would bring costly disruptions to the industry within days, according to the BC Council of Forest Industries.
BC’s forest sector generated 56,120 jobs and generated $6.4 billion in gross domestic product in 2022, according to the provincial government. The sector accounted for 26% of provincial manufacturing sales and almost a quarter of the province’s total commodity export value, it said. BC is home to major forestry companies including West Fraser Timber Co., Canfor Corp and Interfor Corp.
