Canada Must Be Champion Of Open Trade: C.D. Howe Institute Crisis Working Group On Business Continuity And Trade

Canada must champion open international trade and remain an ‘honest partner’ in the face of a worrying trend among G7 nations towards export restrictions on critical goods, says the C.D. Howe Institute’s Crisis Working Group on Business Continuity and Trade.

The group of economists and industry experts, co-chaired by Dwight Duncan, Senior Strategic Advisor at McMillan LLP and former Ontario Minister of Finance, and Jeanette Patell, Vice-President of Government Affairs and Policy for GE Canada, held its third meeting on Tuesday, April 7, 2020. They emphasized that open international trade is essential to Canada – both in the immediate crisis and for the long-term. The working group observed a worrisome tide of export restrictions on critical goods internationally – most immediately reflected in the US president’s threat to prohibit surgical mask exports to Canada.

In this volatile international context, Canada must act on issues within control. Specifically, Canada must invest in:

Industry Groups Come Together To Support Canada’s Food Banks

In an effort to bolster support for Canadian families in need, 18 national and regional industry associations and partners came together today to donate a total of $36,000 to the Ottawa Food Bank, Food Banks Canada, and to food banks across the country – and they have challenged other industry groups to do the same.

“The initiative spearheaded by the Chemistry Industry Association of Canada (CIAC), Forest Products Association of Canada (FPAC), and the Mining Association of Canada (MAC), also encourages participation from association staff members who have the means to support,” said MAC President and CEO Pierre Gratton.

“It all started with a Sunday afternoon thought and an email to Bob at CIAC and Derek at FPAC,” said Gratton. “They thought it was a great idea and by Sunday night we had over a dozen supporters on board,” he added.
“This is such a difficult time for so many families in Ottawa and across the country. We are all trying to find the most meaningful ways to pitch in and help,” said CIAC President and CEO Bob Masterson. “We know that the Ottawa Food Bank, Food Banks Canada, and local food banks are trusted partners and can put these funds to use right away to help families in our communities,” Masterson added.

Valued Customer

Valued Customer,
With many of us working under shelter-in-place orders, we are grateful for those fleets making critical deliveries to support the rest of us.  It's also great to see the heroes of our industry - commercial truck drivers - finally getting their due.  That’s why we are especially touched by some of the stories in the news recently.

In nearly two dozen cities last week, International Truck dealers provided free meals to truck drivers to simply say “thanks.”   The timing couldn’t have been better – with so many businesses temporarily closed, finding a restaurant that was open and could also accommodate truck parking became nearly impossible. From Grand Rapids to Memphis and from Edmonton to Albuquerque, our dealers served nearly 10,000 meals last week! These are the times the transportation industry is at its finest, and we are proud of the selfless efforts of the employees at these outstanding dealerships.
