The import and export of consumer goods, raw materials,
and natural resources drives Canada's economy,
making up more than two-thirds of the country's
gross domestic product.
Moving goods in and out of the country quickly
and efficiently is a national priority.
Canada's Pacific Gateway and its corridor is a world-class
transportation network that connects North America and the

Hong Kong and Taiwan.
