Parliamentary Committee Notes: Service Reductions at select Land Ports of Entry

• Canada and the United States have one of the closest and most extensive relationships in the world, including our shared border.
• Better alignment of service hours at ports of entry will enhance security at the border and allow the redeployment of border services officers where they are most needed.
• The Canada Border Services Agency will continue to work closely with U.S. Customs and Border Protection counterparts and other enforcement partners, to keep the border open to legitimate trade and travel while protecting our communities from illegal activities.

If pressed

• Almost all of these ports of entry are processing an average of two or less cars or commercial trucks per hour during the hours that will no longer be in operation, and;
• Travellers have an alternative border crossing option within a 100 km radius.
