Thoughts on Business Case
1. Significant that use in region growing faster than the whole (-19% compared to +40%)
2. Combining the Region presents the strongest case.
4. History is created by past circumstances.
5. Business case must meet criteria of CBSA and CBP.
3. Role of unloaded containers (+431%)?
6. Success will take time and a commitment to the whole.
