David Jacobson: Port report 'good news' for Canada, encourages competition

The U.S. ambassador to Canada is praising a report by an American agency even as two of its commissioners take public issue with the study that examined Canadian "cargo diversion" and cited suggestions to remedy the problem that could prove prohibitively costly to importers.
The report by the five-member Federal Maritime Commission is complimentary to Canada while fully advocating healthy competition among ports in the U.S., Canada and Mexico, David Jacobson said from Ottawa in an interview with The Canadian Press.
