CP urges Canada to support Vancouver port growth - Yahoo! News

CALGARY, Alberta (Reuters) - Canada should concentrate on expanding Vancouver's port to put it on the same scale as the world's biggest facilities, not "dilute" the opportunity with major investments in another West Coast port, the head of the country's No. 2 railway said on Thursday.

With its access to both Asia and the U.S. Midwest, the Port of Vancouver could rival Rotterdam and Hong Kong if large sums of taxpayer dollars were not funneled into the expansion of the port at Prince Rupert, British Columbia, Rob Ritchie, chief executive of Canadian Pacific Railway said.
