This commitment will unleash clean growth across the country, connecting more homes and businesses to the power of clean electricity and attracting new investments in resource projects.

Canada’s 10 provinces and 3 territories share a network of roads, railways, ports and airports that allow for the movement of citizens and the transport of goods and services. Canada has over 1 million miles of public roads, 53,321 public bridges and 475 tunnels. Canadians rely on these roadways, railways, ports and 62 airports for public travel and for the transportation of goods and services.

Passenger service on Canada’s two major East-West railways (CN and CP) has not been properly maintained and priority is often given to freight trains carrying containers of consumer products made in China (tvs, computers, cars, etc.) over passenger service. Because of the unreliability, unavailability and cost, many Canadians have given up on rail travel. Canada should once again act to establish a viable rail service from coast to coast. If reliable and affordable passenger service were available, it would reduce the number of cars on the road.

CHP would work hard with the airline, railroad and trucking industries to improve and maintain our essential infrastructure and would work with the provinces to reduce or eliminate inter-provincial trade barriers.
