(Minister of International Trade)

The Honourable Stockwell Day, Minister of International Trade and Minister for the Asia-Pacific Gateway, today launched an international advertising campaign promoting Canada’s Asia-Pacific Gateway as the fastest, most reliable way to transport goods between Asia and North America.

“Our economic prosperity depends on moving goods quickly and efficiently around the world,” said Minister Day. “We are working hard with our partners throughout Asia and North America to promote the benefits of using Canada’s transportation system to move products from the factory floor to store shelves.

“The Government of Canada has taken a number of important steps to enhance the country’s transportation network. This international ad campaign will help make businesses more aware of the advantages of moving their goods through our seaports and airports, and on our highways and railways.”

Beginning June 15, advertisements will appear featuring the slogan “With Canada’s Pacific Gateway, everything gets there sooner than you think.” The ads will be placed in marine and air shipping trade publications in the United States, Japan, Korea and China, including Journal of Commerce, Logistics Management, Air Cargo World, Payload Asia, China’s Foreign Trade and Maritime Press. The ads will appear in publications and as online web banners at intervals over the next 10 months.
