Easing The Chokepoints - Ontario Chamber Releases Plan For Effective Border

Easing the Chokepoints, A Plan for an Efficient Canada-US Border, builds on two previous reports by the Ontario Chamber of Commerce which quantified the drain on the Canadian and US economies caused by border delays at $13.6 Billion (CDN) annually. Ontario has been absorbing a staggering $5.25 Billion each year. "We feel the intense drain on our local economy here in Sarnia Lambton as tourists, manufacturers and Michigan day-trippers re-evaluate their travel plans," says Garry McDonald, President, Sarnia Lambton Chamber of Commerce. "We are most concerned that present delays will lead to future habits and business decisions that do not include our community." http://www.newswire.ca/en/releases/archive/August2007/30/c3708.html
