Excellency:
I
am submitting to your attention the fifth Annual Report on the
state of transportation in Canada. The report satisfies the statutory
requirements defined in Section 52 of the Canada Transportation
Act. The report clearly shows the very significant role played
by transportation in the Canadian economy.
The 2000 Annual Report, as did the four preceding ones,
contains a wealth of information on the state of the Canadian
transportation system. The most recent information available is
put forward in the Annual Report in a way that allows one to understand
the sources of demand and pressures on the transportation system.
It presents, among other things, an overview of the system's infrastructure,
as well as current trends in Canada's transportation and trade,
with special attention to energy use by the transportation sector.
The report precedes that of the Canada Transportation
Act Review Panel. These two reports, as well as the first
four Annual Reports, will be useful in defining a national transportation
blueprint for the next decade and beyond.
A solid information base will help in understanding the trends
and challenges that have faced transportation in recent years.
Our country's GDP depends to a large extent on trade. Looking
ahead, it is clear that Canada's prospects for growth and development
are in the global marketplace. To support strong economic growth
in the future, we must aim to make the country's transportation
system the best in the world - safe, efficient, integrated, accessible
and environmentally friendly.
Yours sincerely,
Hon. David M. Collenette, P.C., M.P
