The following is excerpted from a 30 May 2013 news release by Canada's Economic Action Plan.
The Honourable Denis Lebel, Minister of Transport, Infrastructure and Communities, and the Honourable Vic Toews, Minister of Public Safety, along with Ray LaHood, Secretary of the United States Department of Transportation, and Janet Napolitano, Secretary of the United States Department of Homeland Security, released today the first-ever joint Canada-United States Border Infrastructure Investment Plan (BIIP). The development and release of this initiative fulfills a commitment made under the 2011 Canada–United States Beyond the Border Action Plan.
“Modern border crossings are essential to the efficient flow of trade and travellers, which is why the Border Infrastructure Investment Plan and the collaborative relationship with our American neighbours are so important,” said Minister Lebel. “Our government is investing in border crossings, ports and gateways to reduce wait times, increase trade and create jobs.”
