The Vancouver Rail Task Force(VRTF) was established in 1977, under the auspices of WESTAC(Western Transportation Advisory Council), when the Government of British Columbia, the British Columbia Railway, and the VJCRU recommended at the Vancouver hearings of the Grain Handling and Transportation Commission, that a Task Force be established to improve the rail transportation system in the Vancouver Area. It lasted until 1982. Its objective was "to increase the reliability, speed, efficiency and safety of rail car movement through the Vancouver Terminal Area. "To do this, there was a project team created consisting of the Chairman, from WESTAC, a senior representative of railroad management, a senior representative of railroad labour, and one senior representative of the Federal Government. 2, record 2, English, - Vancouver%20Rail%20Task%20Force

It is costly to move grain. In an average year, grain handling and transportation services in Canada may cost more than $445 million. Because of the high cost, and the need to ensure that Canada's producers receive the maximum amount of money possible for their grain, governments have played a major role in determining the cost of moving Canadian grain. Rail tariffs are established by legislation : maximum primary, terminal and transfer elevator tariffs are set by a government agency, the Canadian Grain Commission. 1, record 3, English, - rail%20tariff

Le transport et la manutention du grain sont coûteux. Pour une année moyenne, le montant des frais peut dépasser 445 millions de dollars. En raison de ceux-ci et de la nécessité d'assurer aux producteurs canadiens un revenu maximum, les gouvernements successifs ont dû jouer un rôle important dans l'établissement des tarifs de transport du grain. Les tarifs ferroviaires sont fixés par la loi; les tarifs maximums aux silos de collecte et aux silos portuaires et de transbordement sont établis par un organisme public, la Commission canadienne des grains. 1, record 3, French, - tarif%20ferroviaire
