The Canadian National Committee of the World Road Association (PIARC), in partnership with the Ontario Ministry of Transportation, has developed a national report about optimizing road infrastructure investments and accountability in Canada. The report was prepared in response to an invitation from PIARC to member countries to submit national reports on each of the strategic themes in 2012-2015. Transport Canada provided financial support for the associated consultant work that was undertaken as an additional component of an ongoing related Transportation Association of Canada (TAC) project. The initial results of the 2014 TAC survey were used to prepare the report.
New West Partnership, created in 2010, has brought Saskatchewan, Alberta and British Columbia into an unprecedented and historic partnership establishing an economic powerhouse of more than nine million people with a combined GDP of almost $550 billion. Premiers Brad Wall (Saskatchewan), Jim Prentice (Alberta) and Christy Clark (British Columbia) met on November 6 to explore how Western Canada’s transportation system can be strengthened to better move the region’s products to global markets. Premiers called for a federal contribution of $1 to $1.5 billion to support and enhance essential port and transportation infrastructure.
