The work stoppage at British Columbia’s ports only further tarnishes Canada’s reputation as a reliable trading partner and stable place to do business.
Not long ago, shutting down our West Coast ports two years in a row would have seemed unthinkable. Yet significant labor disruptions like this have now become far too common. The resulting damage to trade and our economy is another blow to Canadian workers and businesses.
We urge the government to use every tool at its disposal to resolve this dispute and allow the trade that drives our economy to resume.
Pascal Chan, Senior Director, Transportation, Infrastructure & Construction
