Getting Things Done for Border Security
May 07, 2007

Public Safety Minister Stockwell Day and Public Works and Government Services Minister Michael M. Fortier today unveiled new radiation detection equipment at the Port of Montreal.

The state-of-the art technology scans cargo containers for radioactive materials to prevent potential threats from entering Canada. The equipment is already being used in Saint John, and is in the process of being installed in Vancouver and Halifax.

Since making a campaign commitment to better secure Canada’s borders, Canada’s New Government has made significant new investments in border security, including:

• $396 million to develop an electronic risk-assessment system for inbound cargo;

• $101 million to hire and train 400 new border guards and equip 4,400 border officers with side-arms; and

• $80 million to help the Canadian Security Intelligence Service (CSIS) better collect and analyze information on threats to Canada’s security.
