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.
