TRANSPORTATION INFRASTRUCTURE
Efforts are continuing to make Canada's
transportation infrastructure more modern,
more efficient and sustainable. In 1999, further rationalizations,
transfers and changes of ownership improved productivity in several
cases
while maintaining or improving safety.
Transportation infrastructure plays a vital role in the country's
economy by keeping people and goods moving -- across the country
and internationally. It is a vast network of roads, railways,
airports, ports and waterways that stretch from coast to coast
and to the far north.
This chapter highlights the events and issues relating to Canada's
transportation infrastructure, and describes the most current
status of its major elements by mode.
