For population data, the Canada Transportation Act Review has relied on the United Nations (UN) World Population Prospects (2015 Revision).1 For economic data, the CTA Review drew heavily on the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) Economic Outlook and OECD.stat extracts,2 and International Transport Forum (ITF) Transport Outlook 2015,3 with other sources as noted. Population Growth With only a few exceptions, Canada’s population growth rate has been declining steadily in the past 60 years, since the peak of the post-World War II Baby Boom. Overall, world population growth has also been declining since it peaked soon after, at just over 2 per­ cent between 1965 and 1970. Even as the growth rate has slowed, both the total Canadian and world populations have more than doubled since 1960. In the next 30 years, the UN forecasts that the growth rate of the world’s population will continue to slow, to 0.6 per­ cent per year, a rate roughly half of what it is today, and one third of what it was 30 years ago. The total population will continue to climb, to about 9.7 billion inhabitants by 2050 (plus or minus approximately 1 billion, in the high and low variants of the forecast).

Cities are nodes of wealth-creation that are competing globally, and mobility and connectivity are critical success factors. While the growth in largest cities that is illustrated in the UN World Urbanization Prospects maps (Figures 3 and 4, below) will be impressive, the UN forecasts that most new urban dwellers will actually inhabit cities of 500,000 or fewer. The movement of the majority of humanity from a subsistence-based rural life to an urban one will drive new demand for transportation, as most basic necessities must be “imported” into cities, rather than be sourced locally. As a result, key success factors will include the develop­ ment and maintenance of high-quality, efficient and uncongested gateways such as ports and airports connected seamlessly to corridors, whether physical (rail and highways), conceptual (air and marine carrier lines) and virtual (networks of communications, information technology, logistics, finance, and other trade supporting services). These are fundamental for the mobility and exchange of people, goods, services and ideas within a metropolitan region, and connect­ ing to its hinterland and other global cities. 5 FIGURE 3 – UNITED NATIONS MAP OF PERCENTAGE URBAN AND URBAN AGGLOMERATIONS BY SIZE CLASS, 20148 Percentage Urban City Population FIGURE 4 – UNITED NATIONS MAP OF PERCENTAGE URBAN AND URBAN AGGLOMERATIONS BY SIZE CLASS, 20309 Percentage Urban City Population Data source: World Urbanization Prospects: The 2014 Revision • The boundaries and names shown and the designations used on the map do not imply official endorsement of acceptance by the United Nations. • Dotted line represents approximately the Line of Control in Jammu and Kashmir agreed upon by India and Pakistan. • The final status of Jammu and Kashmir has not yet been agreed upon by the parties. • Final boundary between the Republic of Sudan and the Republic of South Sudan has not yet been determined. 6 Over the last thirty years, Canada’s population forecast followed the global trend, with the annual growth rate slowing from about 1.4 percent in 1985, to 1 percent today. The forward forecasts are also similar, with the growth rate dropping to 0.5 percent over the next 30 years. This growth rate includes immigration. Without immigration Canada’s total population would be shrinking, as it already is in some specific regions of the country. According to the UN forecasts, the total population will reach an estimated 44 million by 2050, (plus or minus approximately 4 million, in the high and low variants of the forecast).

  • END of an ERA Roger Gibbins Retires After 14 Years at the Helm of the Canada West Foundation
    WINDOW ON THE 2012 MAY WEST www.cwf.ca western canadian policy matters END OF AN ERA Roger Gibbins retires after 14 years at the helm of the Canada West Foundation > Unlocking Manitoba’s Transportation Gateway > Reflections on a Dynamic and Prosperous West > Natural Gas as a Transportation Fuel A Strong West in a Strong Canada The Canada West Foundation is the only think tank dedicated to being the objective voice for public policy issues of vital concern to western Canadians. Sometimes these issues are unique to the West, but more often they resonate right across Canada. We are resolutely nonpartisan. We let the research do the talking rather than rely on predetermined positions. Our goals are straightforward: better government policy; a prosperous West in a prosperous Canada; fair treatment of all regions in the federation; and a strong democracy based on open debate and meaningful citizen engagement. Over the past 40 years, our research and recommendations have advanced all four of these goals. We are a source of ideas and information. We are a facilitator of discussion and civic participation. We give the people of British Columbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan and Manitoba a voice. A voice for their aspirations, interests and concerns. As westerners, we understand the people and the places of the West. We know our history and how it influences our future. Whether it is the economy, energy, environment, education, healthcare, taxes, social services, urban issues, intergovernmental relations or any other policy area of importance to the West, we have researched it, commented on it, stimulated debate about it and recommended practical options for improving the policy response—all from a uniquely western point of view.

  • Workable Solutions to Meet Urgent Financial Needs of Airports in Canadian Communities
    Workable solutions to meet urgent financial needs of airports in Canadian communities Brief for Standing Committee on Industry, Science and Technology (INDU)’s study of the Canadian Response to the COVID-19 Pandemic Prepared by: The Canadian Airports Council May 22, 2020 The CAC is a Division of Airports Council International-North America Suite 600, 116 Lisgar Street / 116, rue Lisgar, Bureau 600 Ottawa, Ontario, K2P 0C2 Tel: 613.560.9302 Fax: 613.560.6599 Introduction The Canadian Airports Council (CAC) welcomes the opportunity to share perspectives and workable solutions from airports across the country for the Standing Committee on Industry, Science and Technology (INDU)’s study of the Canadian Response to the COVID-19 Pandemic. We thank the Government of Canada, members of the opposition and the public service for their work to help Canadian individuals and organizations endure the COVID-19 pandemic. Specifically, we would like to thank the government for quickly putting in place ground lease rent relief — which has helped Canada’s larger airports with immediate cash flow. We also appreciate the Canada Emergency Wage Subsidy (CEWS), which has allowed about half our 53 member airports to avoid some layoffs, despite the grounding of most flights and near elimination of passenger traffic. The CAC would like to put forward four solutions for your consideration that would help position airports for the eventual economic recovery — extended rent relief, interest-free loans, loan or bond guarantees, and funding for small airports in Canadian communities. The reality on the ground As you know, Canada’s airports are an essential part of our transportation network.

  • Perceived Implications of Privatization for Canadian Coast Guard Services, Principally Arctic Icebreaking
    Perceived Implications Of Privatization For Canadian Coast Guard Services, Principally Arctic Icebreaking by James Parsons A thesis submitted to the University of Plymouth in partial fulfilment for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY International Shipping and Logistics Group School of Management, Plymouth Business School August 2009 Abstract James Parsons Perceived Implications Of Privatization For Canadian Coast Guard Services, Principally Arctic Icebreaking Climate change, with the possibility of an ice free Arctic ocean by 2015, has generated a renewed interest in the Arctic. This interest is being driven by the possibility of easier access to the abundant supply of resources such as oil, gas, minerals, and fisheries. Interest in Arctic tourism is also growing. Retreating sea ice will provide opportunities to avail of shorter routes for maritime traffic to and from Asia, North America, and Asia via the Arctic Ocean and Northwest Passage. In addition, the rate of population growth of local inhabitants in the Canadian Arctic is the fastest in Canada and one of the fastest in the world. A growing population will increase the demand for sealift resupply to Canada's northern communities. This work presents the first attempt to examine the role of privatization of icebreaking services in light of the present and projected shortages of infrastructure to support development in the Arctic. A unique combination of multiple methods within marine transportation, comprising of Delphi, grounded theory, and quantitative survey, is applied to investigate the potential for private involvement in the delivery of icebreaking services in the Canadian Arctic. This includes a novel application of Strauss and Corbin's Grounded Theory approach to develop hypotheses and relationships grounded in expert opinion.

  • Canada's National Airports
    CANADA’S NATIONAL AIRPORTS A PRIMER ON CANADA’S NATIONAL AIRPORTS SYSTEM CANADA’S NATIONAL AIRPORT SYSTEM Did you know that most of Canada’s major airports haven’t been operated by any form of government since the 1990s? Were you aware that virtually all of the $19 billion that has been invested into airport infrastructure in Canada since then has come from the private corporations that operate Canada’s airports on a not-for-profit basis using funds generated by airport authority operations. Twenty-six of the airports formerly operated by government — those located in a Canadian capital city or handling more than 200,000 passengers a year — have been designated National Airports System (NAS) airports. 22 of these airports are leased to local, non-governmental airport authorities to operate. These airports, which pour all profits back into the airport, pay rent to the federal government and are responsible for some 90% of the passenger volumes in Canada. The federal government begins transfer of airports to local authorities, starting with Calgary, Edmonton, Montreal and Vancouver. NUMBERS TO KNOW: CANADA’S AIRPORTS $19 Billion $305 Million $4.6 Billion in Capital Investment Since in Rent in 2014 in Rent Since 1992 1992 Without Taxpayer Support CANADA’S AIR TRANSPORT INDUSTRY: CURRENT ECONOMIC IMPACT $34.9 Billion $7 Billion 126 Million 141,000 Contributed to Canada’s GDP Accrued Taxes Passengers in 2014 Direct Jobs Supported National Airports System (NAS) There are 26 NAS airports, including three operated by territorial governments and one operated by the City of Kelowna. 22 NAS airports are operated by local airport authorities independent from any form of government.
