Mark Agnew, Senior Director, International Policy, Canadian Chamber of Commerce spoke to Trade Uncertainties for the new government. The government that takes office after this autumn’s federal election will inherit an uncertain global trading environment. There will be a need to make Canada’s existing trade agreements deliver the full potential, navigate the complexities of our global trade relationships, as well as tap into new markets. A panel, featuring speakers from Transport Canada, the St. Lawrence Seaway Management Corporation, the Railway Association of Canada, and the Greater Toronto Airport Authority dealt with environmental policies, the challenges of climate change and how key transportation sectors are addressing these. A second panel, featuring speakers from the private sector, Canadian Pacific, the Port of Montreal and Transport Canada dealt with the emergence of drones in transport logistics and the application of technology-driven processes in port and rail operations.
