Transport Canada issued a statement stating that while one of the passengers was fined Canadian $10000, the other was fined Canadian $7000 for falsifying the COVID-19 test when they travelled from Mexico on January 23.

In February of 1978, a gang of Energy City residents figured it might be a good idea to play host to the 1980 provincial Summer Games. The fact this community would be the smallest centre to host the event, didn’t phase local organizers, headed up by a young lawyer by the name of Ed Komarnicki, who agreed to take on the chairmanship of the organization committee if, in fact, Estevan was awarded the Games.

The Maximum Revenue Entitlement is a form of economic regulation, allowing CN and CP to set their own western grain shipping rates provided total revenue remains below the ceiling set for each railroad by the Canadian Transportation Agency.
The Canadian Transportation Agency (CTA) ruled that CN and Canadian Pacific (CP) grain revenues for the 2019-20 crop year were above their respective Maximum Revenue Entitlements (MRE). Each railroad must pay the amount that exceeded MRE plus a 5% penalty.

The MRE is a form of economic regulation, allowing CN and CP to set their own western grain shipping rates, as long as the total revenue remains below the ceiling set by CTA.
