The mandate of the Ministers' Rail Advisory Committee(MRAC) is to work together to ensure Cape Breton continues to have the necessary transportation links - whether they are at the port, on the tracks, or on the highways - so freight can continue to move on and off the Island co st-effectively. That includes looking for another buyer/operator who recognizes the potential of the container port and other economic development initiatives pla nned for the Port of Sydney. Below are links to the MRAC's Terms of Reference and Activites to date.
