Canada's Asia-Pacific Gateway and Corridor Initiative
is a federal initiative that creates exciting opportunities
for all Canadians.
Investment in the Asia-Pacific Gateway and Corridor
Initiative enables Canadian companies to tap into new
and expanded markets.
Increases in trade volume and related services generate
new business opportunities and create new jobs for Canadians.
In Greater Vancouver, one of the largest trade
and transportation hubs on North America's West Coast,
one in five jobs is related to trade or transportation...
...And the trade and transportation sector
generates thousands of jobs across Western Canada.
Canada's Pacific Gateway gives western Canadians
the opportunity to create economically viable
communities with a high quality of life.
Environmentally-responsible infrastructure improvements
linked to the Pacific Gateway are reducing congestion
and improving the flow of traffic.
The Asia Pacific Gateway and Corridor Initiative
is also opening the door to new export opportunities.
Partnerships with the Asia-Pacific's rapidly growing
economies help drive other higher-value economic
activities in Canada and particularly in Western Canada.
This stimulates economic growth.
Canada's Pacific Gateway is helping to build the country's
economy, creating family-supporting jobs,
generating new tax revenue, while managing energy use
and environmental impact.
