No Trade Without Transportation: Strengthening Canada’s Petrochemical Supply Chains
11:00 am – 12:00 pm
Canada’s chemistry and plastics sectors depend on efficient, reliable transportation systems to access global markets. While trade agreements and market dynamics continue to evolve, the ability to move products—from production facilities to end customers—remains a critical determinant of competitiveness. Rail constraints, port capacity limitations, and broader supply chain disruptions are increasingly shaping investment decisions and export potential. At the same time, ambitions to expand and diversify trade will only be realized if transportation networks can support increased volumes and reliability. Strengthening the connection between trade and transportation is essential to ensuring Canada remains a competitive global supplier.
