Canada Border Services Agency Update Presentation to: Transportation Border Working Group Bellingham, Washington June 7, 2006

2006 Federal Budget - Impacts  Securing Safe and Open Borders  $101 million to begin arming border officers and eliminating "work-alone" posts.  $303 million over two years to support the Security and Prosperity Partnership of North America on a range of initiatives.   Preparing for Emergencies  $460 million ($1 billion over five years) to further improve Canada’s pandemic preparedness.  $19 million per year to Public Safety and Emergency Preparedness Canada to enhance our capacity to deal with catastrophes and emergencies.

2006 Federal Budget - Impacts  Enhancing Security in the Financial System  $64 million to enhance Canada’s anti-money laundering/anti-terrorist financing regime.  $9 million to fund integrated enforcement teams to combat currency counterfeiting.  Cracking Down on Crime  $161 million for 1,000 more RCMP officers and federal prosecutors to focus on law-enforcement priorities (including border security).

CBSA’S STRATEGIC PRIORITIES CBSA has identified seven strategic priority deliverables under SPP:  E-Manifest/Compatible Risk Targeting and Inspection Regimes is cash- intensive but essential to our vision for the land border, delivering on both security and facilitation.  PNR Push is critical to getting better advance information on people destined for Canada.  NEXUS Air Expansion is an important piece to making the U.S. WHTI work and a critical stepping stone in our expansion of pr-approved traveller program for Canada.  Integrated Enrolment Program for trusted travellers would provide a single enrolment process and ‘single-window’ service.  C-TPAT/Partners in Protection compatibility is critical to enhancing supply chain security and ensuring mutual program recognition.  Document Integrity. WHTI illustrating the need for development of interoperable, secure, lower cost alternatives to the passport.  Business Resumption Planning is critical to assuring stability and predictability at the land border.

WESTERN HEMISPHERE TRAVEL INITIATIVE (WHTI)  Canada is concerned about the impacts on the economies and border communities of both countries if WHTI requirements are not implemented properly. Such impacts may include:  The cost and inconvenience of acquiring secure travel documentation;  Decline in spontaneous travel;  Anticipated increased border congestion;  Border transaction costs affecting the competitiveness of Canadian businesses;  Perceived thickening of the Canada-U.S. border which may result in a decline in foreign direct investment;

WHTI – CBSA’s ROLE  WHTI is a priority for the Government of Canada  As the Government lead, CBSA will:  Collaborate and partner with the private sector and industry to coordinate and implement the Canadian response to WHTI;  Collaborate with federal and provincial government departments;  Work with the US to minimize impact on trade and tourism;  Facilitate processing by reducing the multiplicity of documents currently presented to Border Service Officers;  Leverage support of future initiatives;  Provide accurate and timely information to the public.

WHTI Elements of a Joint Canada-US Work Plan  Develop secure document standards and identify acceptable alternative documents for cross border travel.  Collaborate and partner with the private sector and industry to coordinate and implement the response to WHTI where changes impact them (ie. Bridge and Tunnel Operators)  Jointly examine border infrastructure impacts and options  Leverage pre-approved traveller and trade Programs  Recognition of FAST and NEXUS as WHTI approved  Expansion of Nexus Air  Promotion of secure supply chains through membership in PIP and C- TPAT  Continue to explore innovative solutions that maximize the use of technology

ARMING OF CBSA BORDER OFFICERS AND ADDRESSING THE ‘WORK ALONE’ ISSUE  $101M provided to begin arming border officers and to eliminate ‘work alone’ (one- person) locations  This initiative seeks to enhance border security and the safety of border officers by providing them with sidearms and the training required for their use  The Government will also ensure that border officers are not required to work alone

ARMING OF CBSA BORDER OFFICERS AND ADDRESSING THE ‘WORK ALONE’ ISSUE  These activities will be done in a staged process, beginning with high-traffic ports of entry.  Preliminary work has begun to identify:  Construction needs for training facilities/firing ranges/weapon storage  Process to assess and then acquire sidearms  Policy and training needs  Resource impacts/recruiting  Administrative program, legal services and infrastructure support
