PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE • MOT DU PRÉSIDENT
John Clarke, President
Canadian Association of
Railway Suppliers
2013 has been a very busy year for your association as we
have continued to represent your interests to all levels
of government. Our newly formed partnership with the
Canadian Manufactures and Exporters Association has
enabled us to broaden our advocacy efforts on such major
issues as the recently announced Comprehensive Economic
Trade Agreement with the European Union and provide
input to the ongoing Trans Pacific Partnership negotiations.
We are hopeful the latter will result in changes to the Buy
America regulations.
We were also successful in obtaining GOA funding for
the first time in our history. We are using these funds to
host representatives from several East African Railways to
Canada to meet with interested member companies. We
hope this visit will result in export opportunities for many
of our members. Of course our regular activities with the
RRAB on both the management and technical committees
continue as we continue to identify areas of interest for
suppliers.
All of us in the railway industry were deeply saddened
by the tragic accident last July in Lac Megantic, and our
deepest sympathies go out to the many families who
lost loved ones. It is a vivid reminder of the importance
of safety in our industry. This also means that our
membership on the Advisory Council on Rail Safety is more
important than ever as we work with our industry partners
on this issue.
Looking forward to 2014. CARS will be co-hosting,
with the Railway Supply Institute, Coordinated Mechanical
Associations and the Railway Association of Canada,
a trade show in Montreal in September, and tentative
plans are also being made to host a Canadian Pavilion at
Innotrans, should enough of our members show interest.
As my term as President of CARS ends later this year,
I would like to take this opportunity to thank you, our
members, for your support and encouragement. It has
truly been an honour to serve you. I would also like to
thank our board, council chairs and members, and our
staff for their guidance and hard work on your behalf. By
continuing to support CARS you can be assured that our
industry’s concerns and issues will be well represented to
the government.
With best wishes,
John
Votre association a eu fort à faire en 2013 pour
plaider dans votre intérêt auprès des divers ordres
de gouvernement. Notre alliance avec l’Association
des manufacturiers et exportateurs du Canada
nous a permis de redoubler notre plaidoyer sur les
questions importantes telles que l’Accord économique
et commercial global avec l’Union européenne et de
contribuer aux négociations de partenariat transpacifique.
Nous espérons que ces dernières assoupliront les règles
Buy America.
Nous avons également réussi à obtenir notre première
subvention du programme OMA. Elle vous servira à inviter
au Canada des représentants de plusieurs chemins de
fers d’Afrique de l’Est. Nous espérons ainsi multiplier
les débouchés à l’exportation pour nos membres. Nous
continuons bien sûr à participer au comité de gestion
et au comité technique du CCRTF afin d’identifier des
domaines d’intérêt pour les fournisseurs.
Notre industrie tout entière déplore le tragique
accident survenu en juillet à Lac-Mégantic et nous
sympathisons de tout coeur avec les familles qui ont
perdu des proches. Voilà bien un rappel brutal de nos
devoirs en matière de sécurité. Raison de plus pour
participer au Conseil consultatif sur la sécurité ferroviaire
et collaborer dans ce dossier avec nos partenaires de
l’industrie.
Tournons-nous vers 2014. L’ACFCF organisera en
septembre une foire commerciale avec le Railway Supply
Institute, les Coordinated Mechanical Associations et
l’Association de chemin de fer du Canada. Nous songeons
aussi à monter un pavillon canadien à l’exposition
Innotrans si nous trouvons assez de membres pour y
participer.
Au terme de mon mandat, je tiens à vous remercier,
chers membres, de votre collaboration et de vos
encouragements. Ce fut pour moi un honneur que de
vous servir. Je tiens également à remercier notre conseil
d’administration et notre personnel pour leur aide et leur
travail acharné. Votre appui indéfectible à l’ACFCF vous
assure d’être bien représentés auprès des gouvernements.
Avec mes meilleurs vœux,
John
CARS is pleased to announce its newly formed partnership with Canadian Manufacturers & Exporters (CME). CME is the most
influential business policy and advocacy organization in Canada.
Under this partnership, CARS and CME will work together on behalf of our members on policy and government relations issues
that directly affect their business and that are important to our industry.
Some of the issues include but are not limited to, an extension of the Accelerated Capital Cost Allowance (ACCA) for freight cars,
Canada’s trade negotiations with the EU and other countries such as the Comprehensive Economic Trade Agreement (CETA) and The
Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP), securing federal funding for employing training, and Canada/U.S. border and regulatory reform.

❱❱❱❱
Rail industry
among many
facing a skills gap
B Y LY L E F I T Z S I M M O N S
When the prime minister speaks, people listen.
And when an irritated Stephen Harper calls a perceived
nationwide skills shortage “the biggest challenge our country
faces,” people tend to listen a little more closely.
Harper asserts that a sustainable recovery from prolonged
recession could be impacted by the shortages, which he claims
stem both from the attrition of an aging population and the
paucity of students pursuing education tracks that yield skilled
tradesmen, scientists and engineers.
The Conference Board of Canada recently estimated a
shortage of 1 million workers by 2020, and many specific
employer groups – including railroads and related occupations –
have also predicted shortages of specific skills.
Among Harper’s suggested remedies are tinkering with the
federal immigration system to allow more young people into
the country, which, he said, would involve Canada boosting
its competitive stance by identifying “the needs we have and
(going) out (to) find those needs in the world.”
And while some have contended that the situation isn’t
quite as dire as Harper suggests – a TD Economics report, for
example, said that many occupations thought to be in shortage
actually had lower-than-average unemployment rates and only
moderate increases in unfilled jobs – railway experts insist their
industry is among those feeling a tangible shortage impact.
In fact, Michael J. Byrne, general manager of Modern Track
Machinery Canada Ltd. in Mississauga, Ont., considers the
railway situation “critical,” in large part because it’s not a career
track immediately considered by high school and college-age
students.
8 insidetrack | FALL/WINTER 2013
Of urgent need in the industry today, he said, are tradesmen,
mechanics, certified engineering and electrical technicians,
design and mechanical engineers and civil engineers. In some
circumstances, he said, projects have actually been shelved due
to the lack of available talent to do the work.
“There is a critical shortage of tech-savvy and skilled
employees,” he said. “It takes three to five years to bring a
newly educated technician or engineer to a level where they are
productive and intuitive about our industry. In many respects,
the railways are hidden from most people’s experience in
Canada. The industry is not on most technical and engineering
students’ minds when they enter school or consider a career.
“We lose most of the opportunity to draft from the best
talent by not having strong regional programs in place that
attach candidates to the rail industry right out of high school.
The crisis is current and will continue indefinitely without more
programs geared towards our industry in general.”
Some companies on the large end of the rail spectrum do
actively recruit students.
CN, which employs 23,000 people nationwide, reaches out
with a scholarship program that steers high-school students
toward post-secondary education in programs relevant to its
core business, including transportation, mechanical engineering,
logistics and information technology.
It also provides internships designed to develop a student’s
understanding of how his or her field of study relates to the
company’s business.

Comme bien
d’autres, l’industrie
ferroviaire fait face
à une pénurie de
compétences
P A R LY L E F I T Z S I M M O N S
Quand le premier ministre parle, les gens écoutent.
Et quand un Stephen Harper courroucé qualifie la pénurie
de compétences de « plus grand défi auquel notre pays est
confronté », les gens ont tendance à écouter un peu plus
attentivement.
M. Harper affirme que la reprise pourrait être freinée par ces
pénuries, qui, selon lui, découlent à la fois du vieillissement de
la population et de la rareté des étudiants dans les programmes
formant des ouvriers qualifiés, des scientifiques et des
ingénieurs.
Le Conference Board du Canada a récemment estimé à un
million la pénurie de travailleurs d’ici 2020, et de nombreux
groupes d’employeurs – dont les chemins de fer – ont également
prédit une pénurie de compétences spécifiques.
Parmi les solutions proposées par M. Harper, on compte
celle de procéder à de fins ajustements du système fédéral
d’immigration pour admettre plus de jeunes, ce qui renforcerait
l’avantage concurrentiel du Canada en « recrutant les immigrants
en fonction de nos besoins de main-d’oeuvre ».
Et tandis que certains ont prétendu que la situation n’était pas
aussi grave que le suggère M. Harper – un rapport des Services
économiques TD, par exemple, soutient que de nombreuses
professions où l’on craint une pénurie ont en fait un taux de
chômage inférieur à la moyenne et une augmentation modérée
des emplois vacants –, les experts ferroviaires insistent pour dire
que leur industrie souffre tangiblement de la pénurie de maind’œuvre.
En fait, Michael J. Byrne, directeur général de Modern Track
Machinery Canada Ltd. à Mississauga, estime que la situation des
chemins de fer est « critique », en grande partie parce que ce
n’est pas un cheminement de carrière immédiatement considéré
par les étudiants d’âge universitaire.
On a urgemment besoin, dit-il, d’ouvriers spécialisés,
mécaniciens, électriciens et ingénieurs. Certains projets ont
même été abandonnés par manque de talents.
« Il y a une grave pénurie d’employés qualifiés et férus de
technologie, poursuit-il. Il faut de trois à cinq ans pour qu’un
technicien ou un ingénieur nouvellement formé atteigne un
niveau où il est pleinement productif. La plupart des Canadiens
ne sont pas conscients de ce que vivent les chemins de fer du
pays. Rares sont les étudiants en génie ou en technique qui
envisagent de faire carrière dans le domaine.
« Nous perdons notre chance de recruter les meilleurs talents
à cause de l’absence de programmes régionaux pour capter
l’intérêt des finissants du secondaire. La crise est criante et
perdurera indéfiniment si on ne crée pas plus de programmes
tournés vers notre industrie en général. »
Certaines grandes entreprises ferroviaires font tout de même
du recrutement.
Le CN, qui emploie 23 000 personnes au pays, offre un
programme de bourses qui oriente les élèves du secondaire
vers l’enseignement postsecondaire dans des programmes de
transport, de génie mécanique et d’informatique.
Il fournit également des stages permettant aux élèves de
mieux situer leur champ d’études parmi les activités de la
société.
Le programme d’été pour étudiants du Canadien Pacifique
offre aux élèves de niveau universitaire l’occasion d’acquérir une 12

in the organization. Positions are
posted on both post-secondary campus
career websites and the CP website,
and candidates are selected based on
their geographic location, skills, work
experience and educational background.
Byrne characterized rail’s status
among key target audiences as “not
that widespread or well known” and
suggested the industry as a whole
adopt some of the approaches toward
recruitment that have seemed to
generate success in other industries.
“We need specialized programs and
competitions that involve students in the
industry,” he said.
The Global Graduate Program at
Bombardier includes professional,
general and functional tracks that
prepare would-be jobseekers with three
assignments of six months each on the
company’s railway projects in Europe
and possibly worldwide. The company’s
stated purpose for the program is to the
company’s “future global talent pipeline
as a key element of our competitive
foundation.”

What’s more of a concern to Byrne
and others in the mean time is the lack
of opportunities provided by the smaller
players in the industry – and the lack of
a cohesive industry-wide approach to
address what’s clearly an industry-wide
problem.
“The industry is not talking about
how to collectively tackle this issue,”
Byrne said. “To make this happen, a
unified body with vested interest in the
industry in general should take control
and generate funding and plans that
are translated in to real training and
education programs that attract youth to
our industry.”
One of Byrne’s colleagues at Modern
Track Machinery, Jamie Burwash, said
it was indeed an early exposure to the
industry as a student at Concordia College
that led to his career choice.
Additionally, he claims students from
a variety of programs of study can be
successful in rail, not just the engineers
and tradesmen.
“When I was going through college I
worked in the railway industry for two
summers,” he said. “These jobs with
two Class 1 railways gave me valuable
experience that gave me opportunities to
work in the rail industry later in life.
“Students are much more tech savvy
and many of the skills that they learn
by osmosis young can be adapted to
any career. Hire summer students from
all educational backgrounds, not just
engineering. The rail industry needs to
hire more summer students who might
become interested in a great career in
the rail industry.”
As Prime Minister Harper suggested,
the rail industry is not the only one
experiencing skills shortage issues. Nor
is rail the only game in town when it
comes to luring the high school and
college-age students that so many
companies are coveting.
Oil, gas and mining are three
significant competitors to rail when it
comes to recruitment, which, in Byrne’s
view, makes in even more important
that the industry get its cohesive act
together – both in terms of the intent
to do something, and the willingness
to fund the initiatives that will allow
the remedies to transform from idea to
14
practice.

Les postes sont affichées sur les sites

candidats sont choisis en fonction de
leur situation géographique, de leurs
compétences, de leur expérience de

M. Byrne caractérise le statut du rail
parmi les publics cibles comme « pas très
connu » et suggère que l’industrie dans
son ensemble adopte des méthodes de
recrutement qui ont fait leurs preuves
dans d’autres industries.
578132_Beena.indd 1
« Nous avons besoin de programmes
et de concours qui impliquent les
étudiants dans l’industrie », explique-t-il.
Le programme mondial d’études
supérieures de Bombardier comprend
des parcours professionnels, généraux
et fonctionnels qui préparent les
futurs demandeurs d’emploi avec trois
affectations de six mois chacune sur
les projets ferroviaires de la société
en Europe et peut-être dans le monde
entier. La société veut faire de ce
programme une « réserve mondiale
3/17/12 4:36:19 PM
de talents et un élément clé de notre
avantage concurrentiel ».
Ce qui est plus préoccupant pour
M. Byrne et d’autres, c’est qu’entretemps le manque de possibilités offertes
par les plus petits acteurs de l’industrie
– et l’absence d’une approche sectorielle
cohérente pour faire face à ce qui est
manifestement un problème de toute
l’industrie.
« L’industrie n’en traite pas comme
d’un enjeu collectif, déplore-t-il. Il
faudrait constituer un organisme
foncièrement intéressé à l’avenir de notre
industrie et chargé de prendre les rênes,
de réunir des fonds et de tracer des plans
pour des programmes d’éducation et de
formation qui attirent les jeunes. »
Jamie Burwash, un des collègues de
M. Byrne, chez Modern Track Machinery,
témoigne du fait que son exposition
précoce à l’industrie, alors qu’il étudiait à
Concordia, l’a conduit à y faire sa carrière.
Selon lui, les étudiants d’une variété
de programmes peuvent avoir du
succès dans le secteur ferroviaire, et pas
seulement comme ingénieurs ou comme
ouvriers spécialisés.
« J’ai travaillé dans l’industrie
ferroviaire pendant deux étés durant mes
études, raconte-t-il. Ces emplois auprès
de deux grands chemins de fer m’ont
procuré une précieuse expérience dont je
profite encore. »
« Les élèves sont beaucoup plus
technophiles et les compétences qu’ils
acquièrent par osmose à un jeune âge
peuvent s’adapter à n’importe quelle
carrière. Il faut embaucher des étudiants
de tous les domaines et pas juste le
génie. L’industrie ferroviaire a besoin
d’embaucher plus d’étudiants l’été. »
Comme l’a indiqué Stephen Harper,
l’industrie ferroviaire n’est pas la
seule à faire face à cette pénurie de
compétences. L’industrie ferroviaire
n’est pas seule à convoiter les élèves du
secondaire et du collégial.
Les secteurs pétrolier, gazier et
miniers sont trois concurrents majeurs
des chemins de fer, en matière de
recrutement, ce qui, de l’avis de
M. Byrne, rend la concertation d’autant
plus impérieuse — tant au niveau de
la volonté d’intervenir que de celle de
financer des initiatives susceptibles de
faire aboutir les solutions.

As for the financial emphasis being put on the matter now,
❱ à laIlquestion.
❱ he labeled
it as “not enough.”
“This should be part of an awareness program starting at
high school,” he said. “Trades must be attracted to railwayspecific programs. Institutional-level financing must be
expanded to offer railway related programs more broadly
across the country. We need to tap the urban youth. We have
attractive-paying and secure jobs, just not a lot of awareness
from the general public other then when a train comes off the
tracks.”
Of course, in spite of procedural hurdles that seem to be
impeding progress, optimism does exist.
In Byrne’s estimation, increased cooperation over the next
several years will eventually see Canada better able to get its
collective message out there that the rail industry is not only
lucrative, but that the homegrown rail industry is a world leader
in innovation and productivity.
And that, he said, will transform rail from an afterthought to
a destination when it comes to students.
“Business associations (will be) working with educators
and governments to expand programs and raise awareness of
the industry as an essential service with huge future potential
for expansion,” he said. “(We’ll) get the word out that Canada
is a leader in rail efficiency and implementation of new
technologies, that we have a world reputation for providing high
quality products and services.” ■
« La sensibilisation devrait commencer au secondaire, dit-il.
Il faut attirer les corps de métier par des programmes axés sur
les chemins de fer. Le financement institutionnel doit être élargi
pour offrir des programmes connexes plus largement à travers le
pays. Nous devons tirer parti de la jeunesse urbaine. Nous avons
des emplois bien rémunérés, attrayants et sûrs, mais pas assez
notoriété sauf en cas de déraillement. »
Malgré les obstacles, on note un certain optimisme.
Selon M. Byrne, une coopération accrue au cours des
prochaines années permettra au Canada de faire passer le
message que notre industrie ferroviaire n’est pas seulement
lucrative, mais qu’elle est aussi un chef de file mondial aux plans
de l’innovation et de la productivité.
Et cela, dit-il, va en faire un choix de carrière pour les
étudiants.
« Les associations professionnelles coopéreront avec les
éducateurs et les gouvernements pour monter des programmes
et faire connaître l’industrie comme un service essentiel avec
un énorme potentiel d’expansion, dit-il en conclusion. Nous
allons passer le mot que le Canada est un chef de file en matière
d’efficacité ferroviaire et de nouvelles technologies. Nous
sommes réputés de par le monde pour la qualité de nos produits
et services. » ■

CP
Canadian Pacific Railway Limited announced record quarterly
earnings and its lowest operating ratio in company history.
“By all standards, this was an outstanding quarter,” said E.
Hunter Harrison, Chief Executive Officer. “The company’s focus
on service execution while controlling costs is a testament to
our team of dedicated, hardworking railroaders. What we have
proven this quarter is the ability to drive earnings growth and
lower our operating ratio, even in a softer volume environment. That’s the power of the CP plan,” added Harrison.
CN
CN announced that it intends to purchase for cancellation
up to 5 million of its common shares pursuant to private
agreements between CN and arm’s-length third-party sellers.
The purchases will form part of CN’s repurchase program for
up to 15 million shares announced on Oct. 22. Such purchases
will be made pursuant and subject to the terms of issuer bid
exemption orders issued by the Ontario Securities Commission
(Orders) and will take place before the end of March 2014.
VIA Rail
VIA RailCanada announced that it has signed agreements
worth $4.5 million with locally-based Winnipeg companies
for the renovation of Winnipeg Union Station as well as for
components for its Light, Rapid, Comfortable (LRC) Business Class
cars which are used in the Québec City - Windsor corridor.
and creditworthiness of that organization. Due to strong
performance and good fiscal management, TransLink was able
to issue its Draft 2014 Base Plan and Outlook, which indicates
the authority’s ability to maintain current levels of service and
deliver on our transportation commitments over the next three
years.
Calgary
Transit was one of the topics that dominated discussion
between the mayors of Alberta’s two largest cities and the
premier. Calgary Mayor Naheed Nenshi and Edmonton Mayor
Elect Don Iveson met with Alison Redford at the Legislature.
“Both Calgary and Edmonton have 30-year plans for transit.
Edmonton’s is going to about $10-billion, while Calgary’s is going
to take $13-billion over 30 years. These are very big numbers.
They are over a long time period, but it means we need to
start putting numbers in the hundreds of millions of dollars into
transit funding, starting now,” explains Nenshi.
Ottawa
The City of Ottawa will join local school boards to launch
a competition to name the three “Roadheader” excavation
machines that will dig the Confederation Line LRT project’s
downtown tunnel. The City officially launched construction on
the tunnel on Oct. 11. The Confederation Line Transit Project is
a $2.13 billion project that is jointly funded by the Government
of Canada, the Province of Ontario and the City of Ottawa. This
project is the first stage in the City’s future rail network.
Toronto
Metrolinx is pleased to announce the appointment of Greg
Percy to the role of President, GO Transit, following an extensive
international search process. Percy will assume the role effective
Nov. 9. Percy brings more than 30 years of experience in
the transportation industry to the role, most recently as Vice
President, GO Capital Infrastructure.
Vancouver
Strong fiscal management at TransLink has led to a
reaffirmation of TransLink’s credit ratings as strong and
stable by its rating agencies. Credit ratings are a measure
of an organization’s financial performance that provides
investors an independent assessment of the financial strength
Montreal
At the Ordre des urbanistes du Québec’s 50th anniversary
Gala, the Montréal métro was named one of the top fifty
urban planning projects in Québec over the past fifty years.
A remarkable achievement, the Montréal métro innovated
in many ways, including the creativity of its Montréal and
international design teams, the distinctive architecture of each
of its stations, the design of its tunnels, the arrangement of its
functional spaces, the systematic integration of works of art in
its stations, and the design of its cars. The construction of the
métro brought unprecedented economic support to Montréal,
whose urban fabric was reorganized around the various
stations. ■
