FedEx Express Canada will begin offering support and advice to businesses seeking certification or approval in various cross-border security programs, such as Free and Secure Trade (FAST), Customs-Trade Partnership Against Terrorism (C-TPAT), Partners in Protection (PIP), and Customs Self Assessment (CSA).

Regulatory experts will assist companies in:
Conducting examinations of their facilities and business procedures; help secure their supply chain and achieve customs compliance; and make recommendations to address identified gaps.
FedEx will also assist with the application process for cross-border security programs and perform on-going account maintenance and security audits.
Read MoreTake Canada Post private
The federal government should end Canada Post’s monopoly on the postal market and follow the leads of Germany and the Netherlands in introducing competition to the sector, says the C.D. Howe Institute.
“We believe the case for demonopolizing the Canadian postal sector and moving to some substantial degree of private ownership is compelling and consistent with developments in jurisdictions beyond Canada,” the think-tank said yesterday in a report. “Failure to rethink the role and mandate of Canada Post, given the dramatic technological transformation that is occurring in the communications sector, would be to acquiesce in a slow-motion train wreck.”
Canada Post has a monopoly over the domestic letter mail market, and is obligated to provide service at uniform rates across the country. For the 2005 fiscal year — the last for which numbers are available — the Crown corporation posted profit of $199-million on revenue of $6.9-billion. Canada Post has earned a profit in each of the past 11 years.
Despite this streak, the C.D. Howe study said the Crown corporation faces major structural challenges. Mail volumes are decreasing even though the number of addresses continues to grow, by roughly 250,000 a year. This is due in large part to business and residential customers favouring electronic forms of communication.
Moreover, Canada Post faces increased competition in international shipping and delivery.
