“The Association of Canadian Port Authorities (ACPA) was pleased to hear Deputy Prime Minister Chrystia Freeland dedicate $50 million in today’s Economic and Fiscal Update to strengthen supply chains and tackle bottlenecks via a new call for proposals under the National Trade Corridors Fund.

This targeted approach, along with the National Supply Chain Summit, recently announced by Minister of Transport Omar Alghabra, are steps in the right direction.

ACPA is keen to collaborate with the government and supply chain partners on supply chain optimization and building the resilient, innovative and sustainable infrastructure needed to connect Canadian trade with the world.

Every year, ACPA’s 17 members handle more than 340 million tonnes of cargo for small, medium and large businesses across Canada. Our members are powerful generators of wealth, and empowered with the right tools, would be central to catapulting Canada into the position of global leader in green and resilient ports.”
