Good morning. It’s a pleasure to be with you as you reflect on the challenges facing the North American transport and logistics industries in the current global economic environment. Your industries are inextricably linked with the wider economy: they enable other economic activity by connecting producers with their suppliers and markets elsewhere in Canada and around the world.
Throughout Canadian history, transport has played a critical role in the development of our nation, knitting together the economy over vast distances and forging strong trade links around the world. So as I speak to you today, I would first like to think back to the last great wave of globalization, a century ago. One of the giants of that time was Charles Melville Hays, whom Sir Wilfrid Laurier described as “the greatest railroad genius in Canada.” Hays, President of the Grand Trunk Railway, had a vision: to build a second transcontinental rail line across Canada with Prince Rupert as its western terminus, establishing a gateway to the Pacific.
Hays did not live to see his vision realized. One h

London, United Kingdom –
Large, abrupt fluctuations in global liquidity are having a major impact on global financial stability and economic growth, Bank of Canada Governor Mark Carney said today in a speech to the Canada-United Kingdom Chamber of Commerce. “Over the medium term, the continuation of such extreme liquidity cycles could ultimately threaten open capital markets and a free trading system if not better addressed,” he warned.
Governor Carney described overall global liquidity conditions as the result of complex interactions among several factors, including macroeconomic policies (such as the monetary policy stance and exchange rate regime), microprudential regulations (such as capital and liquidity rules), financial market innovation and risk appetite.
Over the past five years, global liquidity has swung wildly from an “exuberant surge” to a “severe retreat” to a renewed flow of liquidity in response to massive monetary and fiscal policy stimulus, the Governor said. “Now the cy

It is a pleasure to be in London and an honour to speak in Drapers’ Hall.
This magnificent building was for centuries where merchants met to trade cloth. During the 15th and 16th centuries, the Drapers’ Company was one of the most important City companies. It had extensive powers to regulate the woollen cloth trade in the City of London—setting the standard measure by which all cloth was sold and controlling its sale at fairs held in the City. Dealers could only sell cloth to a freeman of the Company and, as their portraits on these walls attest, it was a very profitable monopoly for those on the inside. It was, however, decidedly less advantageous for those on the outside, and so the stranglehold of the Drapers’ Company eventually eroded.
By the 17th century, the trade began to move out of the City and the companies’ powers of regulation declined. Eventually, freed from the restrictions of the guilds, a highly competitive, global textiles industry became one of the foundations of the British Empire. While woo
