Highlights: From the Minister of Transport, Infrastructure and Communities

On behalf of the Government of Canada, I would like to welcome delegates from Canada and around the world to the International Federation of Freight Forwarders Associations’ 2008 World Congress in Vancouver.

The smooth flow of international trade is vital in today’s increasingly connected world markets. Getting products from their point of origin to their destinations in a timely, consistent and cost-effective manner not only helps businesses thrive, but enhances the competitiveness of nations as well. With over 40,000 forwarding and logistics firms employing 8–10 million people in 150 countries, the global freight forwarding industry plays an important role in ensuring that the trade between nations will remain strong in the future.

Please accept my best wishes for a successful conference as you reflect upon past successes and work to meet the challenges ahead.

Sincerely,

Lawrence Cannon
Minister of Transport, Infrastructure and Communities
