TRANSPORTATION AND THE CANADIAN MINERAL SECTOR: POLICY ISSUES

This paper summarizes the impact of Canadian transportation policy, particularly economic regulatory reform, on the minerals sector and attempts to ascertain whether the transportation policy concerns of mineral managers are similar to or different from those of managers in other businesses. The report is based on an extensive analysis of recent Canadian transportation data, supplemented by interviews with transportation managers from the minerals sector and from other industries. The paper also discusses the most important existing legislation, including the National Transportation Act, the Motor Vehicle Transport Act, and the Shipping Conferences Exemption Act, and assesses the effects of the legislation.
