Book Description
Given its geographical expanse, Canada has always faced long-term transport policy issues and challenges. Canadian Multi-Modal Transport Policy and Governance explains how and why Canadian transportation policy and related governance changed from the Pierre Trudeau era through the Chretien, Martin, Mulroney, Harper, and Justin Trudeau eras. With particular attention paid to the diversity and ongoing evolution of transportation policy since the 1960s, the broad distribution of regulatory authority across different levels of government, and the politicization of regulatory regimes and investment decisions since the 1970s, Doern, Coleman, and Prentice attempt to answer three critical questions: How and to what extent have policy and governance changed over the decades? Where has transport policy resided in federal policy agendas? And is Canada developing the policies, institutions, and capacities it needs to have a socio-economically viable and technologically advanced transportation system for the medium and long term? A sweeping history of transportation policy in Canada that fills a gap in the existing literature, Canadian Multi-Modal Transport Policy and Governance concludes that transportation has been subordinate to other federal goals and priorities, delaying and eroding transport systems into the twenty-first century.

Book Description
This study establishes a framework for analysis of current policies from the standpoint of their consistency with sustainable agriculture and sustainable development. The framework developed should be applicable throughout the Great Plains region and to similar semi-arid agricultural regions. The objectives of the study are to: identify the issues in agriculture and its sustainability on the Canadian Plains, including land use, degradation of prairie soil resources, preservation of biodiversity, water use and quality, socio-economic issues, global change, and federal and provincial policies; provide a set of principles and criteria for resolution of those issues; assist in understanding the effects of selected agriculture and trade policies on sustainable development; and propose specific sustainable action programs for the Plains, focusing on agriculture and ecosystems. Principles that formed the basis of the analytical framework included integrated management, conservation, rehabilitation, market viability, societal considerations, and global responsibility. The merit of the framework was tested by using it to assess the compatibility of four policies with sustainable agriculture: the Western Grain Transportation Act, the Farm Products Marketing Agencies Act, the Prairie Farm Rehabilitation Act, and the North American Waterfowl Management Plan. Includes glossary.
