The results showed that railroads had the most market power over long, cross-country moves. However, there were exceptions. Unlike the grain freight market, for frozen freight, the length of haul was less of a determining factor behind truck and rail competition. Across all haul distances, rail demand for frozen products, on average, was more sensitive to changes in rail rates than frozen truck demand was to changes in truck rates. As a result, rail carriers are less likely to hold substantial market power in the frozen freight markets. For frozen freight, trucks compete with rail for shipments, even over long distances. This effect is likely due to frozen freight's time sensitivity and lower volumes(than grain). These requirements of frozen freight make it more suitable than grain for long-haul trucking.  1, record 1, English, - truck%20and%20rail%20competition

Lorsque les débats abordent la question de la concurrence, il s'agit exclusivement d'une concurrence intermodale. La concurrence entre la route et le rail est considérée comme faussée en faveur de la première. En effet, la construction du réseau routier a été prise en charge directement par l'État, alors que celle du réseau ferroviaire l'a été par les grandes compagnies puis la SNCF [Société nationale des chemins de fer français], se traduisant par une importante dette dont la charge pèse sur les finances du futur établissement public à caractère industriel et commercial [...]  1, record 1, French, - concurrence%20entre%20la%20route%20et%20le%20rail

Producers receive an initial payment when they deliver grain to a primary elevator. The level of this initial payment is set by the Canadian Government and is a government-guaranteed price to the producer. The initial payment for each pool account is usually set at what is regarded as a "safe" level and varies from year-to-year according to market conditions.... The net value of grain in each pool account is determined after all grain has been sold and all costs involved in marketing have been deducted. These costs include interest, insurance, storage, terminal elevators handling charges, and the Board's own operating costs. They do not include rail freight costs from primary elevators to terminals or primary elevator handling charges. These costs are deducted from producers’ initial payment when grain is delivered.  1, record 2, English, - producers%27%20initial%20payment

Un acompte est versé aux producteurs lorsqu'ils livrent leurs céréales aux silos de collecte. Le montant de cet acompte, fixé par le gouvernement canadien, correspond au prix que le gouvernement garantit aux producteurs. Le montant de l'acompte versé pour chaque compte de mise en commun est habituellement fixé à un niveau jugé "sûr" et varie d'une année à l'autre suivant la situation du marché. [...] Le coût du transport ferroviaire des silos de collecte aux silos portuaires de même que les frais de manutention aux silos de collecte ne sont pas compris dans les frais de commercialisation. On les déduit plutôt de l'acompte versé aux producteur lorsque celui-ci livre ses céréales.  1, record 2, French, - acompte%20vers%C3%A9%20au%20producteur
