No is the short answer. In government there is a lack of a cross-government mechanism for policy in the various departments. Whether it's international trade, global affairs, environment, environmental issues, or northern issues, there is a need within government for a broader focus on transportation as a key foundation of government economic policy. That has to be beyond the CTA, which has a more restricted regulatory focus. I believe you need advisory mechanisms that include the various elements of the transportation and logistics system, and you need a significant amount of input from financial institutions as well. To enable the transportation system to grow and thrive in the future takes a lot more money than the government can possibly throw at it, and you're going to need the private sector to come to the table. Government is going to have to learn how to enable the private sector to make a bigger contribution.
