Business leaders say 100 days after task force identified crisis, they are still waiting for action from Ottawa. Read more
Without serious investment, we risk hindering Canada’s economic growth, competitiveness and international reputation as a reliable partner for business. With the current geopolitical crisis, the world needs more Canada, from the agriculture goods that we produce, to energy transported by rail and pipeline to products manufactured in Canada — we can’t accept trade infrastructure that doesn’t have capacity or can reliably transport goods on time.
These projects should include safeguarding critical infrastructure that will ensure our supply chains can continue uninterrupted if a primary route is damaged or blocked. Others will expand rail in busy areas as well as increase bridge capacity to reduce congestion and speed up delivery.Because Canada is a trading nation, our trade infrastructure matters. Two out of every three dollars that Canada makes rely on moving goods.
Each corridor strategy would lay out how government would work with provinces, the private sector, communities and Indigenous peoples to identify capacity challenges facing our corridor transportation systems and develop a pipeline of actionable solutions.Regulation continues to be a growing concern, with nearly 25 per cent of businesses that trade interprovincially citing red tape, such as differing certification and technical standards, as a major obstacle to doing business within Canada.
