o With big policy changes recommended by David Emerson, big infrastructure investments promised by government, and a new roadmap from the Minister of Transport – where do we go from here?

o Taking stock of a post-U.S. election world, what needs to be discussed and who needs to be involved to begin working toward an integrated, long term and modernized sector?

o Recognizing the realities of a trading nation, what needs to happen to position the sector for the next fifteen years’ growth?

Day Two: the 2017 CILTNA Transport Outlook Conference will tackle “disruptive change: positioning the sector to grow and prosper”
