TRANSPORTATION ISSUES IN CANADA

Since the building of the transcontinental railway in the 1870s, transportation has played a symbolic and tangible role in the development of Canada. This document looks at transportation issues. In addition to the central question of developing a unified policy framework, a number of other issues are addressed. These include: open skies, cost recovery, the proposed CN Rail/CP Rail merger in eastern Canada, the future of VIA Rail and the Canadian Coast Guard, the Western Grain Transportation Act, high speed rail passenger service, a national highway infrastructure program and the implication of changes to the Jones Act.
