The internal analysis done by Transport Canada showed that the policy remains relevant and its implementation has been efficient and effective. For instance, it is calculated that negotiating with another country costs the government around $35,000 on average. That includes the preparation time, travel costs, and so on. When you compare that amount of money to the economic benefits that can flow to the economy from additional services, the analysis, I think, demonstrates that it is good value for money.
