Ottawa—Transport Canada should ensure the country’s trade-related transportation infrastructure has the capacity to handle all the freight traffic offered to it, says the Commons trade committee.
Transport Canada also has to “facilitate the reporting and collection of rail container—related information and data, and their timely sharing with relevant stakeholders in an accessible manner.” Quorum Corp., the grain transportation monitor, told the committee that certain shipping lines reduced the number of empty rail containers available to North American exporters by requiring all empty containers—particularly those from the Asia-Pacific region—to be returned to their country of origin empty.
However, it warned that imposing fees or punitive levies on shipping firms to increase the number of empty containers available in Canada would be “hugely destructive to trade,” the report said.
