e-presentation by John R McDougall, Past President of Alberta Research Council
and more recently, Past President of the National Research Council. Title: The time is "Now to Bridge and Reboot - the Canadian Economy: a proposal for a Sea to Sea to Sea project (C2C2C2)". It emerged from an original idea of Richard Roemer more than 50 years ago, but now the time is right to move the concept forward.
Resurrected by John R. McDougall as the "Northern Corridor" in 2014, Tom Jenkins
took the idea to Cyrano, the Univ of Calgary School of Public Policy and the Canadian Senate. Its time now, to give this project a significant push. C2C2C is a not-for-profit foundation building public support for the idea of major infrastructure corridors to connect the country and providing a basis for long-term economic growth. The goal is to define a long-term strategic vision, that has strong public consensus and can be implemented in a coherent and integrated manner, much as the Inter-state highway system was developed in the US. The plan is to build consensus and gain approval for a major corridor system of about 7,000 km connecting all three oceans and the 13 political jurisdictions that make up Canada. Indigenous people have had a leadership role right from the start. The work will include defining acceptable routing and recommending models for governance, approval and regulatory oversight. The group will also explore models for financing major infrastructure within the corridor system. The presentation will include multi-modal options, potential economic, environmental and social benefits, and the many R&D and technology challenges that would/could unite Canada's research capabilities with the many advanced trade skills that would be required, thus leading to employment at all levels of the value chain. |
