The following is excerpted from a 21 October 2012 news release by Canada Border Services Agency.
Canada and the United States today announced the official launch of the Prince Rupert pilot project that will facilitate greater trade and strengthen cargo security at the Canada-U.S. border as part of the Integrated Cargo Security Strategy in the Beyond the Border Action Plan. The Honourable Ed Fast, Minister of International Trade and Minister for the Asia-Pacific Gateway, made the announcement today in Vancouver with Jim Nealon, Deputy Chief of Mission from the United States Embassy and Anne Callaghan, U.S. Consul General.
"The Canada-U.S. relationship is one of the world's greatest trade success stories and we are working together not just at the border, but beyond the border, to increase our shared prosperity," said Minister Fast. "Accelerating the movement of secure cargo between our two countries by removing red tape and other unnecessary barriers will contribute to job creation, strong economic growth and greater long-term prosperity for hard-working Canadians and their families."
