In the aftermath of the B.C. port strikes, we need laws that say critical trade infrastructure is off limits to such disruptions
James White is president and chief executive of Wellmaster and chair of the Ontario advisory board of the Canadian Manufacturers & Exporters group.
Thankfully, and finally, the months long on-and-off strike at these ports is over. Good news for many. However, our work is just beginning. We’ll be feeling the repercussions from the slowdowns and backlogs well into the fall. Canadian Manufacturers & Exporters estimated that individual manufacturing businesses that experienced delays during the ports strike were out an average of $207,000 per day. For us, it’s difficult to put an exact figure on it, but the strike, and the ensuing backlog, are costing us tens of thousands of dollars at a time when we are also dealing with inflation and high interest rates.
