AN AGREEMENT TO PROVIDE WATER and wastewater servicing to CentrePort Canada lands in Rosser has been reached by the Province of Manitoba, City of Winnipeg and CentrePort Canada Inc.

Last week, representatives from CentrePort Canada met with Manitoba Premier Greg Selinger and Winnipeg Mayor Sam Katz to discuss the high level of investor interest in CentrePort lands and the need for certainty over water and wastewater servicing.

“It was an extremely positive meeting,” said Don Streuber, chair of CentrePort’s board of directors. “All agreed that CentrePort needs servicing as soon as possible for our inland port to realize its full potential as an economic driver for the city, capital region and the province.”

"If we want economic development to take place there we can’t have this uncertainty hanging over our heads," Local Government Minister Ron Lemieux told the Winnipeg Free Press. "So we need to be able to move on this."

The City of Winnipeg’s ability to provide water to lands located outside of city limits was called into question recently by the International Joint Commission, triggering an uncertain legal process with no clear timeline for resolution.

Developing a Plan B approach means that CentrePort can get on with the job of marketing industrial land to potential investors.

“I know CentrePort Canada will do an excellent job positioning the City of Winnipeg as a global logistics hub,” said Mayor Katz. “It will be exciting to see development take shape on CentrePort lands.”

Plan B is two pronged – the Province will take the lead in developing plans to extend treated water from the Assiniboine River to the Rosser lands within CentrePort, while the City will finalize a service-sharing agreement with the RM of Rosser to provide wastewater services.

Plan Brings Water Servicing to CentrePort Lands

AGREEMENT ON SERVICING: Manitoba Premier Greg Selinger (left) and Winnipeg Mayor Sam Katz (right) met with CentrePort vice-chair Chris Lorenc (centre) and other CentrePort representatives on June 3, 2013 to develop a go-forward plan for extending water and wastewater servicing to the inland port.

The Future’s so Bright… “Because this is the only area of the city where there is a good supply of available industrial land, Shindico believes most new industrial development in Winnipeg will occur on the CentrePort Canada site.”

FlexPay, the WCB's enhanced payroll reporting and payment system, will be introduced this fall. To ensure employers continue to receive excellent customer service during the transition, a phased-in approach will be taken.

To begin, all employers who currently report their actual payroll on a quarterly basis will move to reporting estimated payroll on an annual basis. Last fall, all quarterly employers received a letter and brochure outlining the coming changes.

Now, it's decision time! "Quarterly employers will soon receive a letter from us asking them to choose their preferred payment schedule," says Alice Sayant, Vice President, Strategy and Assessment Services. "Our customers will enjoy greater flexibility when it comes to choosing payment plans and methods that suit their business needs."

For employers who already report their payroll on an annual basis, they face the same decision, starting with employers with yearly premiums of more than $5,000. These employers will receive a letter and brochure in the coming weeks, outlining the options available and asking them to select a payment plan.

To help employers decide, a FlexPay calculator is available on the website at wcb.mb.ca > FlexPay. The calculator allows employers to enter their yearly premium amount and learn which payment schedules and methods are available.

Next year, employers with a yearly premium under $5,000 who report their payroll annually will be able to choose their payment schedule and sign-up for pre-authorized debit or credit card payments.

"Taking this phased-in approach will help to ensure customer service levels remain high during the transition," explains Sayant. "We're asking for our customers' patience as we introduce these improvements and encourage everyone to watch their mailbox for more information or visit www.wcb.mb.ca/FlexPay for the latest news."

traffic has been falling behind since mid-2011. True, it’s possible that manufacturers are looking at other modes of transport. But it’s also true that rail transportation covers a vast array of primary goods not captured in the manufacturing data. Here’s where the facts are more disturbing. Growth in monthly GDP – driven lately by primary products – is also well ahead of growth in rail traffic. Given that there are fewer modal substitutes for raw goods, there seems to be a problem.

It gets worse. Although railway carloadings are relatively flat, certain key sectors are grabbing a lot more share of total space. Since early 2011, rail shipments of petroleum products have surged at a 21 per cent annualized pace. Vigorous production growth and constrained pipeline capacity have increased the oil industry’s dependence on rail shipments, and without growth in overall rail traffic, other industries are feeling the pinch. Wood products – in hot demand thanks to the US housing market’s recovery – are barely showing any rail shipment growth. The agriculture industry is worried that there will not be enough space to fill orders for raw product currently in storage.

If constraints are really there, then prices should be reacting. This is clear in recent US price movements. Rail costs soared by double digits, hitting 10 per cent year-over-year in mid-2011, and although price increases have since moderated, they are considerably ahead of inflation. If this is true now, and resurgent global growth adds to demand pressures, more price hikes could be in store.

The bottom line?

With our domestic economy slowing, Canada is increasingly looking to international trade as a key source of growth. Transportation infrastructure is key to facilitating this growth, but insufficient rail track capacity is a key limiter. At present, the evidence is not complete, but it suggests that we may be running short of the means to realizing the growth that is already coming our way. Best to keep an eye on this and other looming constraints.

Railroads and modern Canadian history are inextricably linked. They were an essential economic development tool, getting people in and products out. We are still highly dependent on these same rail networks to get Canadian products to international destinations. Global hunger for Canadian resources has increased the demands on our infrastructure, and in recent years, its limits have been tested. If the world is on the verge of a US-led recovery, can our rail systems handle the growth?

It sounds like a good problem to have, but it wasn’t back in 2004. At that time, North American demand was picking up, and West Coast ports couldn’t handle the inbound traffic. Although port space was constrained, there was also a real problem moving goods inland by truck and train. The logjam created panic up and down the coast, and every port was involved. The problem was resolved, but constraints again appeared in 2008. The global financial and economic crisis fixed that, but only temporarily – if we are getting back to growth, our rail systems may again be put to the test.

Anecdotal evidence suggests that rail capacity is already getting tight. Certain industries are worried that they may lose orders, as they are not able to guarantee anything close to just-in-time delivery. At first blush the data don’t seem to agree. Headline data on railway carloadings look benign; growth has flatlined over the past two years, giving little hint of difficulties. Are the anecdotes mere local concerns, or are the data masking a bigger underlying problem?

Additional data suggest the latter may be closer to current reality. Compare the rail traffic data to current manufacturing shipments, and it’s quickly apparent that growth of rail
