Canada’s premiers must dismantle internal trade barriers By The Hon. Perrin Beatty, President and CEO Canadian Chamber of Commerce

The free movement of goods, services, capital and labour between all parts of the country is urgently needed. On Aug. 13, we, along with our provincial chamber partners, sent a letter to the Council of the Federation ahead of its meeting, taking place later this month, to urge Canada’s premiers to remove the barriers to internal trade and mobility. The Agreement on Internal Trade (AIT), which governs Canada’s internal market, was negotiated 20 years ago and does not respond to today’s economic and commercial realities. While there have been some helpful changes over the years, the agreement as currently written no longer does our economy justice. Internal trade barriers continue to impede the free movement of people and goods between Canada’s provinces. Such barriers often arise as a result of minor differences in standards, certifications or regulations. The red tape these differences impose on businesses and the economic toll they place on our competitiveness have become intolerable. New international trade agreements, like the one with the European Union, are much more ambitious and comprehensive in scope than the AIT.

Why Winnipeg is one of the best places to do business in CanadaBy Francesca Steele

The vibrant, multicultural city has several major developments in the pipeline, helping fuel strong

demand for homes

The Esplanade Riel bridge over the Red river in Winnipeg

teady how she goes,” is how one economist from the Canadian Real Estate Association (CREA) describes the housing market in

Winnipeg, the snowy capital of Manitoba province and a vibrant, multicultural metropolis rising up from the prairie lands of central

Canada, just 62 miles from the US border.

Average prices here have risen five per cent in the past year, and 30.1 per cent between 2008 and 2013, from C$196,940 ($183,000)

to C$268,892 ($250,000), according to the CREA (compared with 25.6 per cent in Vancouver during the same five-year time period,

27 per cent in Calgary and 32 per cent in Toronto).

However, local economists and agents say the recent flurry in sales and development is actually helping to balance out a market that

tends to have too little supply, rather than too much. This is due in part to the rising population (at present about 780,000, up from

684,000 in 2010), as well as low costs. Two years ago, KPMG named the city the least expensive place to do business in western

Canada.

“One unique feature of the Winnipeg market is that it has always had one of the tightest balances of supply to demand in the country,”

says Pierre Leduc of the CREA. “If it were anywhere else, this would be a sellers’ market but in Winnipeg it seems to be the neutral or

natural state of things.”

New housing projects were up 1 5.7 per cent year on year in the final quarter of 2013, according to Statistics Canada. No doubt this

would please Mark Carney, current governor of the Bank of England and former governor of the Bank of Canada, who in May compared

the housing market in the UK unfavourably to that of his home country, arguing that Canada built twice as many homes as the UK,

despite having half its population.

Carney is credited with helping the Canadian economy brave the global downturn – house prices fell

across the country by just 9 per cent between May 2008 and March 2009, in contrast to the US and

A riverside property on sale for C$2m near St Vital Park in

south Winnipeg

UK, for example, which saw falls of 54 per cent and 26 per cent from peak to trough, respectively,

according to Savills.

There are some concerns that Canada’s residential property market is now overheated and heading

for a fall. Fitch Ratings, the New York-based rating agency, warned last year that prices could fall by

up to 10 per cent over the next five years. However, it has since moderated its predictions for this

year and “The Peg”, as the market is known, looks like a safer bet than many others.

“I believe Winnipeg is reinventing itself, with a new airport terminal, the new Canadian Museum for

Human Rights, a new football stadium at the University of Manitoba – the most impressive in the country – major hospital expansion,

and a whole new industrial project called CentrePort which will set Winnipeg up as a major freight-forwarding destination,” says Peter

Squire, of the Winnipeg Realtors Association.

It is not just business that is helping attract people to Winnipeg. The arts are also a big draw, with a popular theatre fringe festival,

symphony orchestra, opera and the Royal Winnipeg Ballet. Multicultural communities (there is a strong Ukrainian, German and Filipino

presence) have created a flourishing restaurant scene as well as a sense of global presence.

These attractions have prompted a surge in interest in expensively developed resales, as well as high-end new builds, say agents.

Saunas, pools and top-notch kitchens are now increasingly sought after.

Upmarket family homes tend to be located southwest of the city centre, in leafy riverside

residential districts such as Tuxedo, Charleswood and River Heights, sandwiched between

the Assiniboine river and the Red river. Upscale condos tend to be along Wellington

Crescent or Waterfront Drive in downtown Winnipeg.

Cole Castelane, a local agent, is selling a five-bedroom house on South Drive just east of

Tuxedo in Fort Garry, with two acres of land leading up to the river’s edge, a pool, hot tub

and private mooring, at a guide price of C$2.28m.

Growing numbers of executives, entrepreneurs and professionals have been driving up

demand for detached family homes over the C$500,000 price point, according to a report in January by Re/Max Canada, a real estate

firm. Some 439 “luxury” homes (those priced C$500,000 and above) changed hands in 2013, a 26 per cent increase from 2012, and up

189 per cent on 2009.

Unlike the UK, there is a strong trend towards new homes at the upper end of the market. Waverley West, a new Winnipeg suburb

approved for construction by the Manitoba government in 2005, is a good example. When first introduced, planners estimated it would

take 20 to 25 years for it to complete. “The area, however, is running a full eight years ahead of estimates, as purchasers continue to

favour updated, turnkey homes, with all the latest bells and whistles,” says a report for Re/Max.

Things look less bright for first-time buyers, who are struggling to gain a foothold amid rising prices and tightening mortgage

requirements. However, they can take comfort in reports that suggest 2014 will see a slowdown in prices. “Average price appreciation

is expected to moderate this year – in light of higher inventory levels – setting the stage for another 3 per cent gain to C$275,000,”

says the Re/Max report. “We were in a strong sellers’ market with not enough listings to meet demand,” adds Squire. “But things are

changing now with much better supply. We are in a more balanced market situation.”

Canada’s ports must prepare for 21st-century trade deals Wendy Zatylny, contributed to The Globe and Mail and originally published August 18 2014 The maritime trade winds that have helped chart Canada’s economic course for decades are shifting dramatically. As Canada’s Port Authorities gather in Belledune, N.B. – one of the National Port System’s key Atlantic gateways – it’s clear that the shipping world is going through a remarkable transformation and that Canada has a unique opportunity to advance its global leadership into the top ten nations when it comes to supply chain efficiency.

Expanded trade agreements between Canada and international partners are making our world smaller. Traditional trade patterns are changing. Competition to carry and receive cargo is intensifying. Navigating this new environment effectively is crucial to Canada’s economy and our standard of living. With 90 per cent of everything we buy travelling by ship, maritime trade underpins the global economy. We buy, therefore we must ship. These are the goods we depend on every day: cars, tools, electronics, resources, food, and medicines – to name just a few.

A combined $162-billion worth of goods are shipped or received through Canadian Port Authorities each year from trading partners in more than 160 countries. Our ports handle over 60 per cent of the country’s waterborne cargo. In the process, our ports contribute to job creation and economic growth, creating 250,000 direct and indirect jobs that pay higher-than-average wages. Every one million tonnes of new cargo at Canada’s Port Authorities generates 300 new jobs. The expansion of Canadian trade presents a remarkable opportunity for our shipping industry. Since 2006, Canada has concluded new trade agreements with nine countries and is negotiating with many more. The Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement with the 28-nation European Union promises to open up preferred access to the world’s largest economy, with 500 million people and annual economic activity of almost $17-trillion.

The recent announcement that Canada and the EU have completed a text creates an historic, once in a lifetime opportunity that we must seize. However, we will only be able to capitalize on this expanded market and increase our competitiveness through strengthened port facilities and improved supply chain efficiencies. With the expansion of trade comes the necessity for the expansion of port infrastructure.

A 2012 report by the World Bank on logistics ranked Canada 14th out of 155 countries when it comes to the efficiency of our clearance process, the quality of trade- and transport-related infrastructure, the ease of arranging competitively-priced shipments and other key factors. This measure is important because it is an alternate measure for the efficiency of a nation’s economy, and is indicative of a nation’s competitiveness. The report notes, “Countries with better logistics can grow faster, become more competitive, and increase their investment.”

In our view, 14th is not good enough for a leading trade nation. Our goal should be to break into the World Bank’s Top 10 in terms of supply chain efficiency. We’re confident we can improve our position with the government of Canada on board, engaging with Canada’s Port Authorities to ensure our infrastructure is able to accommodate increasing trade demands and that our supply chains operate as smoothly and efficiently as possible. We hope to create a partnership with Canada’s Trade Commissioner Service to develop a training program for trade commissioners, helping them better understand the value-add that is the National Port System. We’d also like to see our partners in government create an Inter-Departmental Working Group that would examine and seek to resolve other regulatory issues and barriers to “smooth sailing” on a continuing basis.

The efficiency of our supply chains in the marine shipping industry is as much a value-add as the trade agreements that support our exports. Indeed, creating opportunities by addressing challenges will help Canada maximize its advantage and truly seize the moment. Doing so will allow Canada to fully leverage the benefits of the trade agreements it is negotiating, bring additional economic benefits to its citizens, and position us as the world leader in transportation logistics and supply chain efficiency.

The time is now to pair Canada's 21st century trade agenda with 21st century transportation efficiency.

Wendy Zatylny is president of the Association of Canadian Port Authorities, representing 18 port authorities and related marine interests, which handle more than $162-billion worth of cargo annually.

Peter G. Hall

The Near-Term Business BetPeter G. Hall, EDC Vice-President and Chief Economist

September 4, 2014

Money talks. Right now, it’s telling us what business thinks about near-term growth. And a great gauge of this conversation is the opinion of purchasing managers. All over the world, buyers in companies, regardless of size or reach, are making daily decisions about acquiring the inputs needed to produce what they sell. They not only have to forecast their needs and striking prices, but they have to match these to expected future sales. In effect, they are forecasters who are continuously being assessed on their judgment calls. So, what are they saying these days?

Let’s start with the US. As America is the world’s growth engine, it’s critical to know what its buyers are saying. The news is not just good; it’s great. Manufacturers were discouraged by the poor winter weather, but they got over it; the index is now back to the heights seen last fall, and rising. New orders are leading the charge, up sharply in the last three months. Purchasing managers in the service sector are even more upbeat. New orders are surging there as well, lifting the composite index to its highest level since late 2005. One can either conclude that US business buyers have lost their marbles, or they see something coming that many others are missing. I’d bet strongly on the latter. So are the Americans alone?

They might be on the rise in a big way, but the Brits may give them a run for their money. The UK purchasing managers’ index is also soaring. Admittedly, it’s not as high as it was last fall, but at 58.8, it’s well ahead of the post-crisis average. Service activity, key to the UK economy, is leading the way, but buyers in the manufacturing sector are also upbeat, pushing close to post-crisis highs, and well above the growth-decline level.

The Euro area staged a long-awaited comeback in early 2013, and remains solidly in the moderate expansion zone. Services are doing better than manufacturing, which has swooned steadily since April. It remains in expansion mode, but only barely. The area-wide index reflects the trend in Germany, down since January, and similar moves in France and Italy. Although the down-trend among manufacturers has persisted, it is probably too early at this point to tell whether this is a temporary reaction to earlier US weakness, a reflection of geopolitical disturbance, or perhaps a more worrisome fundamental weakness in the pan-European economy, but it warrants continued attention.

Japan’s buyers have a more disturbing view. Purchasers there were wildly upbeat last October, but sentiment sunk in the spring. Thankfully, they are back into the positive zone, but only barely. Policy is a big factor in this volatility, as anticipatory activity and the post-policy backlash are both influencing real flows in the economy. The rebound in the weeks following the tax increase suggests that Japan is back into growth mode.

Is emerging market money saying the same? The HSBC composite index has see-sawed for three years. It’s currently on an up-trend, but has not decidedly broken out of its multi-year slow-zone. China’s story is much the same, although the recent numbers are inspiring. They followed the US down in the first quarter, and are likewise on a solid up-trend through July. Future progress is likely to depend on a blend of US and European economic direction, as China’s growth is increasingly dependent on international trade. For the moment, things appear to be on the up-and-up.

India is also showing positive movement among its buyers, and up-and-coming Indonesia is sporting a remarkable surge. Notably, Singapore, a regional and global bellwether, appears to be trending upward after a scare last December. Hopefully, its more prescient manufacturers are foreshadowing better times for trade flows in the region and across the planet.

There is more that could be said about various other markets, but these together represent a large chunk of global business activity. Movements in recent months on balance point to global growth that is gaining momentum in a measured way.

The bottom line? Business is now placing bets on growth that will take us into 2015. Their verdict so far is that better times are ahead. Within the next week, a new bevy of purchasing managers’ intentions will be out. Now is a critical time to pay careful attention to their collective message.
