Transport Canada has launched a review and survey of the Marine Transportation Security Regulations on its Let’s Talk Transportation consultation platform. The primary purpose of the review and proposed amendments are to address the new preclearance agreement with the United States that allows US Customs and Border Patrol to clear passengers bound for the US before they cross the border. The initial implementation focusses on passenger and ferry terminals on the west coast. The Chamber will be developing its input to the regulatory modernization effort and encourages all members of the port community to provide input through Transport Canada’s online Marine Transportation Security Survey (on surveymonkey.ca).
