Currently, our foreign trade zones don't provide much benefit, to be honest. They're a cumbersome administrative burden of paperwork without a lot of benefit to our communities in job creation.
If we looked at our foreign trade zones to create actual free trade zones, we would probably see a lot more manufacturing and goods coming in, and people adding value to them and exporting out of Canada. We can create jobs here by creating the right system around free trade zones. We think we need to look at that and what improvements can be made to the current system.
I think there are eight foreign trade zones in Canada now, but there's not much value added, so they're really not providing any benefit. It sounds good, but I think we have a lot of work to do to actually make this a viable program that could help our airports, our communities and Canada.
