Thank you for your question.
Right now, the lack of paperless data governance makes it very hard to optimize a number of port activities, particularly when it comes to customs. If we want to be able to optimize assets, we need access to much more digital tracking.
As it stands, Canada has been lagging behind for many years. This also means that a number of innovations found elsewhere in the world are not being implemented in Canada. Some shipping companies, among others, provide complete visibility for tracking goods. That's harder to apply right now in Canada, particularly in the context of interoperability.
