Canadian Public Policy, 2011, vol. 37, issue 1, 49-59

Abstract: This paper reviews the re-emergence of delays as a source of concern at the Canada-US border. We reassess their economic impacts in light of new economic research and conduct model-based numerical simulations to estimate the regional composition of trade impacts and welfare costs within Canada. We find ample reason for concern about the re-emergence of these delays, as the economic consequences are likely to be particularly acute for Ontario and Quebec. Our findings have significant public policy relevance to Canada at both national and regional levels given the current renewed interests in border protection issues.
