The Challenge of a Thickening Border
• Conference Board of Canada 2007 study : – Undermining benefits achieved through NAFTA – Business having to absorb compliance costs – Lack of predictability at border forcing changes in business practices and driving down efficiency – Thickening border may eventually erode Canada’s attractiveness as foreign

Can we afford to let a thickening border …
• Reduce the access of manufactures and retailers on both sides to efficient suppliers • Reduce the effective consolidation of manufacturing or distribution • Reduce the access of producers and consumers in the U.S. to low cost products from off shore • Reduce the integration of supply chains across the U.S. – Canada border
Some Issues
• Canada is taking action because it has to, how important is a seamless border to the US?
• Transport agencies can only do so much, how important is a seamless border to DHS, CBSA?
• Infrastructure is a challenge but regulatory barriers may be the root problem.
Some Issues
• Institutional change is needed as the current institutions are ineffective – there needs to be a continental perspective • What has been achieved through trade liberalization is being undone (in part) with thicker borders • There is an increasing need to address complete supply chain from Asia to consumer in N.A. or in opposite direction
