TRANSPORTATION AND
THE CANADIAN ECONOMY
Transportation can
be examined as an economic sector
whose activities contribute to the performance of the economy
as a whole.
In 1999, Canada experienced vigorous economic growth.
A review of the state of transportation in Canada begins with
an understanding of the factors that have affected the level of
demand for transportation services during the year. Since transportation
derives its demand from all other economic activities, a quick
overview of the performance of the Canadian economy and that of
a few of its key trading partners, helps give an understanding
of the influences on transportation during 1999.
