Looking
to the Future: A Plan for Investing in Canada’s Transportation System
On December 8, 2005, the Council of the Federation released a comprehensive
national transportation strategy. Premiers Campbell, Hamm, and Handley led
the development of the strategy, which is multimodal and inclusive of all
regions. The strategy recognizes that the Federation was built on a vision,
expressed in a railway, to unite the country from coast to coast. This tangible
expression of unifying the country continues to be reflected in our national
transportation infrastructure, which now must include both an east-west and
a north-south focus.
Recognizing that Canada’s provinces and territories have a range of
differing infrastructure needs, Premiers have identified Canada’s transportation
system as one of the most important foundations of our country’s international
competitiveness and noted that it is key to ensuring a better standard of
living for all Canadians.
