24. Container Security • CCRA favours risk assessment model at hubs using a variety of inspection tolls based on experience at seaports • USCS favours 100% screening using gamma ray at busiest border crossings HOWEVER • USCS screens less than 10% internal traffic

25. Marine Security • High Interest Vessels (HIV) • US Port Security Bill authorizes anti-terrorism response teams and sea marshals • Canadian law requires justification • Discussions on joint-boarding protocols

26. Port of Vancouver • Vancouver Port spans 9 different municipalities • Policing the port is not easy as 3 lower mainland Port Authorities are policed by 13 separate jurisdictions

27. US Entry-Exit Controls • TSA No Fly List not defined + response protocols unclear • False assumption that Canada is a softer country BUT 9/11 operatives entered US legally • Need enforcement to track illegal aliens

37. “We do work with the US. There is a history of great cooperation on the aviation front between Transport Canada and the US DOT and the FAA. That is why I think that of all the departments, right from the moment when the FAA informed us that they were closing the skies, we were able to respond in a seamless fashion because the systems, the procedures and the trust were there, going back 50 - 60 years.” (Senate Hearing Ottawa, December 2, 2002)
