The document provides a summary of rail transportation in Canada in June 2022. It notes that non-intermodal freight loadings increased 0.6% year-over-year to 23.1 million tonnes, driven by large increases in iron ores and concentrates (+23.9%) and coal (+12.2%). It also saw increases in loadings of other energy commodities like refined petroleum and coal products (+70.7%) and gasoline (+48.0%), reflecting rising global demand and energy prices. The overall increase in rail movements mirrors a record high in Canadian exports of energy products in June.

With the adoption of bill C-49, the terms of these exemptions have now become law and the CTA’s foreign
ownership cap has passed from 25% to 49%. That said, a single foreign corporation or entity can only own up to
25% of the voting interests, and any number of foreign airlines may together own a total of 25% of the voting
interests of a “Canadian” airline. In addition, bill C-49 does not modify the CTA’s requirement that notwithstanding
any foreign participation, a “Canadian” entity must be “controlled in fact” by Canadians.
With the adoption of bill C-49, the CTA requires that the Agency make regulations establishing a new airline
passenger rights regime. The regulations will govern flights to, from and within Canada, including connecting
flights, and will specify the requirements governing a carrier’s obligations in the case of flight delay, cancellation or
denial of boarding, as well as minimum standards of treatment, compensation and assistance in completing the
planned itinerary.

19. SUMMARY
Canadian railways transported 30.1 million tonnes of freight in June, edging
up 1.3% from June 2021 and the second consecutive month of year-over-year
increase in tonnage. Large increases in loadings of iron ores and energy
products offset the ongoing declines in grain shipments.
Also contributing to the overall increase were freight loadings from US rail
connections, which reached 3.9 million tonnes in June, a 9.2% increase from
June 2021.

Summary:
Non-intermodal freight loadings in Canada increased for the second month in a row, edging
up 0.6% year over year to 23.1 million tonnes in June, driven by large tonnage increases in
certain raw minerals and energy commodities.
Iron ores and concentrates led the pack, with loadings rising 23.9% (+865 000 tonnes) from
June 2021, their fourth straight month of year-over-year increases. Some of this increase may
reflect lingering effects from production disruptions at a Quebec–Labrador mine site from May
to mid-June of 2021, due to a labour dispute.
Year over year, loadings of nickel ores and concentrates were also up (+71 000 tonnes), more
than eight times their levels in June 2021 and the second consecutive month of increases.
Increases in carloadings of some energy commodities continued with rising fuel consumption
and industrial production. For instance, loadings of coal posted a fifth consecutive year-over-year
increase, rising 12.2% (+362 000 tonnes) from June 2021. This increase reflected strong global
demand for industrial energy—in particular Asia—as well as higher gas prices and European
energy supply constraints because of the war in Ukraine, creating stronger demand for coal.
Similarly, other refined petroleum and coal products (e.g., propane, butane), which have risen
each month since April 2021, grew 70.7% (+287 000 tonnes) in June compared with the same
month in 2021, following similar increases in May (+77.8%) and April (+79.7%).
As most pandemic-related travel restrictions have now been lifted across the globe, loadings of
gasoline and aviation turbine fuel grew another 48.0% (+80 000 tonnes) year over year in June,
marking the 15th consecutive increase in tonnage.
The overall increase in railway movements in energy commodities mirror the June data on
Canadian international merchandise trade, with exports of energy products hitting a record high
of $21.0 billion, representing a share of 30.0% of total exports.
