Canada’s port authorities welcome the federal government’s continued emphasis on trade diversification and supply chain resilience in the Spring Economic Update. Investments in transportation infrastructure, trade corridors, and port modernization are important to maintaining the efficiency and competitiveness of Canada’s gateways.

Commitments to streamline project approvals and improve regulatory processes will be important for advancing infrastructure in a timely way. Enhancements to border services and coordination across agencies can also support more efficient and secure goods movement.

As trade patterns evolve, ports will remain central to enabling diversification. We look forward to engaging on the forthcoming Trade Diversification Strategy.
