Selling to our Strengths: Unlocking Canada’s Trade Corridors
Canada has set bold economic goals — attracting $1 trillion in new investment over five years and doubling non-U.S. exports within a decade — goals that hinge on the country’s ability to move goods efficiently from farms, forests, factories, and mines to global markets. On Jan. 26, Canadian Club Toronto hosted a panel examining the state of Canada’s trade corridors, transportation networks and the bottlenecks and policy choices shaping long-term competitiveness. Moderated by Business Council of Canada CEO Goldy Hyder, the discussion featured Max Koeune, President and CEO, McCain Foods Ltd.; Tracy Robinson, President and CEO, CN; and Sean Strickland, Executive Director, Canada’s Building Trades Unions. They spoke about how government, industry, and labour can better align to strengthen supply chains and open new markets.
