President and CEO, Logistec CorporationSummer, 2008
I am very proud to participate in the Continental Gateway Strategic Leadership Committee as one of three strategic advisors who will work alongside Ontario’s, Quebec’s and the federal Deputy Ministers of Transport on developing the Continental Gateway strategy.
The governments have committed to include the private sector on this initiative. They are looking for our input and perspectives on needed improvements to the transportation policy environment and infrastructure system in the Continental Gateway.
One method by which the private sector is consulted is through a Private Sector Advisory Committee, which will propose long-term recommendations for economic growth, sustainable development and increased international trade.
My role, as I see it, is to help coordinate this input and communicate private sector priority issues and potential solutions to the Strategic Leadership Committee and decision-makers.
To succeed in this very important and timely initiative, the private and public sectors must collaborate and communicate with one another. I believe this will require much effort, but we cannot underestimate the importance of a fluid and efficient transportation system to the health of our industries, the economy at large and the competitiveness of our country in the global economy.
