Canada Border Services Agency – Speech From the ThroneCanada Border Services Agency – Speech From the Throne

There is no role more fundamental than the protection of its citizens.

That is why the Government established the Department of Public Safety and

Emergency Preparedness, appointed a National Security Advisor to the Prime

Minister, established the Cabinet Committee on Security, Public Health and

Emergencies, and the new Canada Border Services Agency.

PAGE 5

Canada Border Services Agency – Speech From the ThroneCanada Border Services Agency – Speech From the Throne

The Government will develop, with its domestic partners, Canada’s first

national security policy which will serve as a blueprint for effectively securing

Canada in a way that strengthens the open nature of our society.

Building on the successes of the Smart Border initiative, the Government will

engage with the United States to further strengthen North American security

while facilitating the flow of commerce and travellers.

Department of Public Safety and Emergency PreparednessDepartment of Public Safety and Emergency Preparedness

The creation of the department of PSEP will

enable a truly integrated response to all

manner of emergencies and threats to our

security, whether they be be health-related,

natural disasters or from terrorists

It brings together, in one place, the core

functions of:

National security and intelligence

Policing and enforcement

Corrections and crime prevention

Border services

Emergency preparedness

Benefits of Integration and ConsolidationBenefits of Integration and Consolidation

Restructuring of government is not a change

in commitment; renewed focus simply

means working smarter to protect public

health and safety while enabling the efficient

movement of goods and people across our

borders

Inter-agency cooperation will help achieve

the proper balance between facilitation and

enforcement

Harmonizing procedures will reduce

duplication; resulting increased efficiencies

will benefit government, business and

individual Canadians

by terrorists to destabilize the western

world, to threats to our food supply that

can cripple our economy

evolutionary process of strengthening our

border – continuing work initiated and

ensuring improved outcomes by providing

more permanency and integration

To ensure we get it right, we will need to
