As a result of the free trade agreement with the United States, we have seen a major evolution in trade flows. There is much more north-south trade as opposed to east-west trade. We are seeing a shift in the natural marketing areas. If your food processing plant is, for example, in Quebec or Ontario, your natural marketing area now is New York, Philadelphia and Boston. Plants in Western Canada, say in British Columbia, now regard their domestic market as including Seattle and Los Angeles

In other words, there has been a major change in the way the food processing sector regards itself. It now regards itself as part of a North American market and, increasingly, it specializes. Even the trans-national firms in Canada are competing for certain product mandates. They may only get a product mandate to produce, say, five lines of a product instead of 15 lines, but now they have longer production runs, their costs are down, they are exporting more, and their profitability and competitiveness have been enhanced
