Canada-US Relationsin the Context of the APGCI
The Importanceof the Canada-US Border
• Security and border management critical tosuccess of continental gateway
• Canada-US bilateral trade, 2006: CDN$ 533B– CDN$ 1.6 billion in goods crossing border every day– 3000 two-way cross-border truck movements daily– Largest bilateral air market in the world
• The border in supply chain context:– Importance of intermediate goods trade
• over 1/3 of US-Canada trade is intra-companyshipments
The Challenge of a ‘Thickening Border’
• Inefficiences at border = inefficiences in supply chains
– Impeding supply chain velocity
– Creating sub-optimal business practices
• Joint Canada-US Chambers of Commerce 2008 report:– ‘Sense of frustration’ exists within the Canadian and
US business communities
– Collection of industry’s top recommendations
– 25 recommendations
• Conference Board of Canada 2007 study:– Thickening of border is undermining benefits achieved through
NAFTA.
– Business having to absorb compliance costs
– Lack of predictability at border forcing changes in businesspractices and driving down efficiency
– Thickening border may eventually erode Canada’sattractiveness as foreign investment location
Addressing the Challenge Joint Canada-US Cargo Security Initiatives
• Marine and Port Security:– Canada-US Container Security Initiative (CSI) Partnership (2005)
– Canada-U.S. Joint In-Transit Container Targeting at Seaports Initiative (2005)
– Prince Rupert: CBSA officers screening on behalf of US CBP
– Canada’s Marine Security Contribution Program:
• 2006: $42 million over 386 projects to 101 ports and marinefacilities across Canada aimed at enhancing security
• 2007: $12.5 million over 115 projects to 22 ports and domesticferry services across Canada aimed at enhancing security
• Smart Border Action Plan
• Free and Secure Trade (FAST)
• Security and Prosperity Partnership– Canada to invest $431.6 million over 5 years in the ‘smart, secure borders’
program under SPP (2007-12)
Moving Forward from Volume to Value…
• Canada’s Gateway policyrecognizes the complexity ofglobal supply chains and adoptsa systems approach to theirdevelopment and exploitation.
• Successful gateways will attractvalue-adding services, foreigninvestment, bring new jobs andskilled workers.
• Next phase of APGCI offersopportunity to explore value-added potential.
