The Real Property Task Force has primarily focused on the issue of the valuation of port property as it relates to the ongoing 'Best Practices Study' being conducted by the federal government.

There are still many unanswered questions that must be addressed as noted below. The valuation of port property does vary throughout the provinces and among international jurisdictions. As such, it is one of the key costs related to the overall competitiveness of those operating in the Canadian port community.

To get at some of the more critical issues the Association held an International PILT Workshop in Vancouver in June 2004 with representatives from around the world who gathered to debate this important issue. To varying degrees some success has been made, but much more still needs to be done to have a better basis on which to valuate port property in Canada.
