Abstract

The performance of supply chains used to be mainly the concern of academics and professionals who studied the potential efficiencies and risks associated with this aspect of globalisation. In 2021, major disruptions in this critical sector of our economies are making headlines and attracting the attention of policy makers around the world. Supply chain bottlenecks create shortages, fuel inflation, and undermine economic recovery. This report provides a transversal and multidisciplinary analysis of the challenges and opportunities regarding data interoperability and data sharing as they relate to the ‘Great Lakes - St. Lawrence Seaway Trade Corridor’ (GLSLTC)’s intermodal transportation and trade data strategy. The size and scope of this trade corridor are only matched by the complexity of its multimodal freight transportation systems and growing urbanization on both sides of the Canada-US border. This complexity is exacerbated by the lack of data interoperability and effective collaborations between the different stakeholders within the various jurisdictions and amongst them. Our analytical work relies on : 1) A review of the relevant documentation on the latest challenges to supply chains (SC), intermodal freight transport and international trade, identifying any databases that are to be used.; 2) A comparative review of selected relevant initiatives to give insights into the best practices in digital supply chains implemented in Canada, the United States, and the European Union.; 3) Interviews and discussions with experts from Transport Canada, Statistics Canada, the Canadian Centre on Transportation Data (CCTD) and Global Affairs Canada, as well as with CIRANO’s research community and four partner institutions to identify databases and data that they use in their research related to transportation and trade relevant data availabilities and methodologies as well as joint research opportunities. Its main findings can be summarized as follow: GLSLTC is characterized by its critical scale, complexity, and strategic impact as North America’s most vital trade corridor in the foreseeable further intensification of continental trade. 4% of Canadian GDP is attributed to the Transportation and Logistics sector (2018): $1 trillion of goods moved every year: Goods and services imports are equivalent to 33% of Canada’s GDP and goods and services exports equivalent to 32%. The transportation sector is a key contributor to the achievement of net-zero emissions commitment by 2050. All sectors of the Canadian economy are affected by global supply chain disruptions. Uncertainty and threats extend well beyond the COVID-19 Pandemic. “De-globalization” and increasing supply chains regionalization pressures are mounting. Innovation and thus economic performance—increasingly hinges on the quantity and quality of data. Data is transforming Canada’s economy/society and is now at the center of global trade “Transport data is becoming less available: Canada needs to make data a priority for a national transportation strategy.” * “How the Government of Canada collects, manages, and governs data—and how it accesses and shares data with other governments, sectors, and Canadians—must change.” For a more general literature review: Alain Dudoit & Molivann Panot & Thierry Warin, 2021. "Bibliography: Towards a multi-stakeholder Intermodal Trade-Transportation Data-Sharing and Knowledge Exchange Network", CIRANO Project Report, 2021RP-28, CIRANO La performance des chaînes d'approvisionnement était auparavant surtout l'affaire des universitaires et professionnels qui étudiaient les éventuels gains d'efficacité et les risques liés à cet aspect de la mondialisation. En 2021 les importantes perturbations dans ce secteur névralgique de nos économies, font les manchettes et retiennent de plus en plus l’attention des responsables politiques du monde entier. Les goulets d'étranglement de la chaîne d'approvisionnement créent des pénuries, attisent l'inflation et fragilisent la reprise économique. Le présent rapport fournit une analyse transversale et multidisciplinaire des défis et des possibilités concernant l'interopérabilité et le partage des données dans le cadre de la stratégie de données sur le transport intermodal et le commerce du « Corridor commercial des Grands Lacs et du Saint-Laurent » (CCGLSL). La taille et la portée de ce corridor commercial n’ont d'égal que la complexité de ses systèmes multimodaux de transport de marchandises et l'urbanisation croissante des deux côtés de la frontière canado-américaine. Cette complexité est exacerbée par le manque d'interopérabilité des données et de collaborations efficaces entre les différents intervenants au sein des diverses juridictions et entre eux. Notre travail analytique s'appuie sur : 1) Un examen de la documentation pertinente sur les derniers défis posés aux chaînes d'approvisionnement (CA), au transport intermodal de marchandises et au commerce international, en identifiant les bases de données à utiliser ; 2) Un examen comparatif de certaines initiatives pertinentes pour donner un aperçu des meilleures pratiques en matière de chaînes d'approvisionnement numériques mises en œuvre au Canada, aux États-Unis et dans l'Union européenne.; 3) Des entrevues et des discussions avec des experts de Transports Canada, de Statistique Canada, du Centre canadien de données sur les transports (CCDT) et d'Affaires mondiales Canada, ainsi qu'avec la communauté de recherche du CIRANO et quatre institutions partenaires afin d'identifier les bases de données et les données qu'ils utilisent dans leurs recherches liées aux disponibilités de données et aux méthodologies pertinentes en matière de transport et de commerce, ainsi que les possibilités de recherche conjointe. Ses principaux constats peuvent être résumées comme suit : Le GLVMSL se caractérise par son échelle critique, sa complexité et son impact stratégique en tant que corridor commercial le plus vital de l'Amérique du Nord dans le cadre de l'intensification prévisible du commerce continental. 4 % du PIB canadien est attribué au secteur du transport et de la logistique (2018) : 1 000 milliards de dollars de marchandises déplacées chaque année : Les importations de biens et services équivalent à 33 % du PIB canadien et les exportations de biens et services équivalent à 32 %. Le secteur des transports joue un rôle essentiel dans la réalisation de l'engagement d'émissions nettes nulles d'ici à 2050. Tous les secteurs de l'économie canadienne sont touchés par les perturbations de la chaîne d'approvisionnement mondiale. L'incertitude et les menaces vont bien au-delà de la pandémie de COVID-19. Les pressions liées à la "démondialisation" et à la régionalisation croissante des chaînes d'approvisionnement s'accentuent. L'innovation, et donc les performances économiques, dépendent de plus en plus de la quantité et de la qualité des données. Les données transforment l'économie et la société du Canada et sont désormais au cœur du commerce mondial. "Les données sur les transports sont de moins en moins disponibles : Le Canada doit faire des données une priorité pour une stratégie nationale des transports." * "La façon dont le gouvernement du Canada recueille, gère et gouverne les données - et la façon dont il accède aux données et les partage avec d'autres gouvernements, secteurs et Canadiens - doit changer.
