Ensuring that Canadians receive affordable goods on time is essential, especially after the last 2.5 years of the global COVID-19 pandemic. That is why the Minister of Transport, the Honourable Omar Alghabra, established the National Supply Chain Task Force earlier this year to examine the key issues affecting Canada’s supply chain operations. The Task Force's mandate was to produce recommendations on how we can make our transportation supply chain stronger and Canadians' lives more affordable.
The last two years of the COVID-19 pandemic have highlighted the importance of local airports to keeping communities connected to essential services and to each other. That’s why the Government of Canada is committed to supporting airports from coast to coast to coast.
Mr. Jean Gattuso and Ms. Louise Yako, co-chairs of the National Supply Chain Task Force, will hold a news conference to provide details on their final report on how to make our supply chain stronger and make life more affordable for Canadians. Other members of the Task Force will also be in attendance, including Robert Armstrong, Shauna McMillan, and Gretchen Pohlkamp.

Local airports play a crucial role in Canada, connecting communities from coast to coast to coast while also ensuring they continue to have access to essential air services like air ambulance, resupply, and forest fire response.
Indigenous Peoples and coastal communities have had traditional and cultural ties with Canada’s oceans and waterways for generations. The next phase of Canada’s Oceans Protection Plan will continue to build on opportunities for Indigenous Peoples and coastal communities to collaboratively protect, preserve, and restore our oceans and waterways.
