  • CANADA, the LAW of the SEA TREATY and INTERNATIONAL PAYMENTS: WHERE WILL the MONEY COME FROM?‡ Wylie Spicer†
    Volume 8 • Issue 31 • September 2015 CANADA, THE LAW OF THE SEA TREATY AND INTERNATIONAL PAYMENTS: WHERE WILL THE MONEY COME FROM?‡ Wylie Spicer† SUMMARY Canada is a party to the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea, having ratified it in 2003. This Convention requires parties to it to make payments in respect of oil production on their continental shelves beyond 200 miles, to an international organization which is then tasked with distributing such payments to selected States parties to the Convention, taking into account the interests of the least-developed countries.* Canada has a number of offshore licenses in the area of the continental shelf to which these payments will apply. The amount of the payments is based on the total production at the site. After 12 years of production, the Convention stipulates that the amount of the payment is seven percent of production, and remains at that percentage for the rest of the producing life at the site. It is anticipated that Canada may be the first state to be required to make these payments. The annual cost to Canada of this obligation will be in the millions of dollars. At present Canada has no framework in place to source these funds. There is a well-developed royalty regime in the offshore, but it does not contemplate this substantial requirement. This paper discusses how this requirement developed in international law, the role of Canada in its development, and how it has come to be that there is no contemplation of this requirement in the current framework of Canadian law.

  • A White Paper* on Reforming Canada's
    SPP Research Papers Volume 5•Issue 18• June 2012 A WHITE PAPER* ON REFORMING CANADA’S TRANSPORTATION POLICIES FOR THE 21ST CENTURY Brian Flemming, CM, QC Counsel, McInnes Cooper SUMMARY While much of the developed world struggles with debt and chronically low growth, Canada, one of the best-performing members of the G-7, remains on firmer footing. However, this country still has to cope with slower growth, cutbacks and aging infrastructure. As this paper argues, reconciling these facts will take creative, non-partisan problem solving, and it is time governments got to work. Particularly brave politicians might consider charging the public the full costs of infrastructure use in the form of a tax. For the less daring, advances in robotics and data management offer substantial efficiency gains. Whichever path Canadian governments choose, they will not travel it alone. The burgeoning power of social media will amplify citizens’ voices and involvement. However, private sector expertise and capital could be just what is needed to ease Canada’s looming infrastructure woes, notably in the form of infrastructure banks (iBanks); cost-effective, streamlined replacements for the tangled mass of programs and departments that currently build, manage and maintain public infrastructure. Such an institution could allow private investment vehicles like bonds, preference shares and mortgage-backed securities to be issued to create capital and to pay back investors as the objects of its investments repaid the capital borrowed. iBanks could raise tricky problems about overlapping jurisdictions and would, in some parts of the country, be a tough sell, but Canada has been lagging badly in transportation innovation and must consider unorthodox solutions.

  • The Containerization of Commodities: Integrating Inland
    Catching Up: T he Case for Infrastructure Banks in Canada Brian Flemming, CM, QC Counsel McInnes Cooper Senior Fellow, Van Horne Institute Calgary, Alberta February 2014 2 Executive Summary In the slow recovery from the devastating world-wide recession of 2008-9, Canada continues to face a large “infrastructure deficit.” Traditional ways of paying for new infrastructure projects or renewal --- property, gas taxes, and government grants --- may not be able to finance all major projects in future. Around the world, countries and subnational political entities are turning to Infrastructure Banks (“iBanks”) to provide another kind of capital for infrastructure projects. Canada possesses world-class expertise in its insurance companies, pension funds and investment banks to lead in the creation of national, provincial or municipal iBanks. This paper urges all levels of government and the private sector to “catch up” to these discussions and to look at various forms of iBanks and ask whether it is time for Canada to create one or more iBanks. Catching Up: The Case for Infrastructure Banks in Canada 3 Acknowledgments The Van Horne Institute and the Author wishes to thank Philip Bazel of the University of Calgary's School of Public Policy for his invaluable assistance in the writing of this paper.
