OTTAWA — A federal task force says Canada’s transportation supply chain is approaching its “breaking point” and urgent action from both government and industry is needed to keep goods flowing.
The National Supply Chain Task Force makes 21 recommendations in its final report released today that are intended to address the delays and economic pressure that have plagued the supply chain over the last two and a half years.
Priority items include easing congestion at ports and addressing labour shortages as well as working to protect border crossings and other key points from disruption.
The report also recommends Ottawa create a central supply chain office to oversee any changes and prevent bureaucratic delays.
