Want to boost the economy? Improve our transportation systems: Tim Sargent’s Letter to a minister in The Hub – MLI
November 24, 2025
In an era of shifting trade dynamics, supply chain vulnerabilities, and urgent infrastructure demands, Transport Canada must evolve to ensure its role as steward of the transportation system actively supports national competitiveness.
In a departure from past practice, Prime Minister Carney has decided not to issue individual mandate letters to his ministers, leaving each to determine on their own how best to contribute to the government’s agenda and fulfill their responsibilities. In Letter to a minister, The Hub’s new series in collaboration with the Macdonald-Laurier Institute, we will provide each minister with a policy agenda that is bold enough to address the grave challenges that the country faces, but manageable enough to be implemented in a realistic time frame.
The series continues this week with a letter to the minister of transport.
The Honourable Stephen Mackinnon, P.C., M.P.
