TRANSPORTATION AND
THE CANADIAN ECONOMY

The expansion of the Canadian economy continued in 2000 with
the strong economic growth spread across all regions of Canada.

 

Transportation activity reflects the state of the economy as a whole and this chapter sets out the developments in the economy as a basis for understanding the factors that have affected the demand for transportation services. It also looks at the contribution of transportation to the economy both from the perspective of transportation industries and from the overall demand for transportation in the economy, including both commercial and private transportation.
