- Articles and reports: 62F0014M2023002Description: This article presents the data sources and methodology for the Couriers and Messengers Services Price Index (CMSPI). The CMSPI measures the monthly change in the price of shipping services provided to households and businesses by delivery companies in Canada. The index is an indicator of economic activity within the courier and messenger services industry, as well as a tool that can be utilized by the industry for cost monitoring, contract assessment and benchmark comparisons.Release date: 2023-02-27

While the presence of provincial border effects—the relative weakness of inter-provincial trade compared to intra-provincial trade—is well established, it remains unclear what underlies them. Parsing out the sources of the border effect is important, because it provides policy makers with much more information on where to direct their efforts. This paper takes a step in this direction by asking whether part of the border effect can be attributed to how multi-unit firms organize their production within and across provincial borders. Networks of operating units controlled by the same enterprise lower the cost of trade by shipping goods between units as value is added through the production chain or via the use of common upstream and downstream supply chains. Higher costs of operating these networks in multiple provinces may act as a barrier to firm networks. By combining measures of regional trade and firm networks over a nine-year period (2004 to 2012), the study tests these propositions.

Canadian ports handled a record quantity of international cargo in the first half of 1997. The ports handled 125.2 million tonnes (Mt.) of international cargo, an increase of 7.0% over the first six months of 1996. International shipping activity in the mining sector and crude petroleum transshipments drove the increase.
Release date: 1998-01-08 - Table: 50-002-X19970053239Description:
Canadian ports handled a record 51.3 Mt of international freight in the first quarter of 1997, an increase of 5.1% over the same period in 1996. Total international and domestic traffic increased just 2.4% to 61.1 Mt, as a 10.1% decline in domestic freight partially offset the gain in international traffic. Domestic traffic, at 9.8 Mt, sank to its lowest recorded first quarter level.
Release date: 1997-10-03 - Table: 50-002-X19970033096Description:
Reapeating the success of the previous year, Canadians ports once again broke the tonnage record for international cargo handled in 1996. International cargo totaled 260.3 million tonnes, a slight increase of 2.2.% compared to the peak established in 1995. In 1996, the bulk of the growth in Canadian marine activity can be attributed to international unloading of goods.
