The CEC Secretariat will produce a Sustainable Freight Transportation in North America report through an advisory group with representatives from the transportation industry, non-governmental groups and government agencies.

The advisory group will be chaired by President and Vice Chancellor at the University of Winnipeg, Lloyd Axworthy. Mr. Axworthy is also a former Canadian cabinet minister, including responsibility for foreign affairs. The group will study improvements in environmental performance and sustainability for the transport industry and recommend policy changes for the governments of Canada, US, and Mexico.

Making improvements to freight transportation to cut GHG emissions, will also help all three countries meet GHE reduction targets. The final report is expected by mid-2010.
