Government architecture in this area is constantly evolving. This organizational chart is based on a presentation by a PSEP official delivered to the ACPA Port-Government Interface on February 23, 2004.
27
PSEP
• Minister: Honourable Anne McLellan• Budget = C$5 billion• Employees = 50,000
28
PSEP

29Programs and Related Requirements Arising from Creation and Mandate of PSEP
Overview of the Impact of PSEP
and
Related Vendor IssuesBy
Bill HearnTel: 416.865.7240
30
Supply Chain Programs
• Importance of Supply Chain– Definition:
• entire network of companies that work together to design, produce, deliver, and service products
• historically, companies focused on in-house manufacturing and quality improvements
• now efforts extend beyond to encompass entire supply chain
31
Supply Chain Programs
• Importance of Supply Chain:– locus of value for manufacturers– obvious effects:
• New delivery times for purchasers• Increased spending on compliance
– non-obvious effects:• cash flow, accounting practices, and capital structure of
companies– affects service organizations providing services to these
companies (investment firms, law firms, management consultants, etc…)
32
Smart Border Declaration
• On December 12, 2001, Smart Border Declaration signed by Deputy Prime Minister John Manley and US Homeland Security Director Tom Ridge
• Objectives:– enhancing security of border – facilitating legitimate flow of people and goods
33
Smart Border Declaration
• Declaration outlines a set of initiatives called 30-Point Action Plan, which includes:– Biometric identifiers– Permanent resident cards– Single alternative border inspection system
34
Canada Border Services Agency
• December 12, 2003: federal government announced creation of the Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA)
• Part of PSEP
35
Canada Border Services Agency
• CBSA comprises: – Customs program, formerly with the CCRA
– intelligence, interdiction and enforcement functions, formerly with CIC
– passenger and initial import inspection services at ports of entry, formerly with CFIA
36
Road
• Context:– Six million trucks crossed from
Canada into US in 2002 (= over 11.5 trucks per minute 24/7)
– Constitutes 70% (in value), 41% (in volume), of all CDN exports to US
– Projected growth rate of truck freight 1995-2020 = 61%
37
Road
• FAST– Free and Secure Trade (FAST) program is a
joint Canada-US initiative
– Participants must voluntarily register in the CBSA’s Partners in Protection (PIP) program (similar to DHS C-TPAT program)
38
Road
• FAST– harmonizes commercial process offered to pre-
approved importers, carriers, and registered drivers at 12 major border crossings
– shipments for approved companies, transported by approved carriers using registered drivers, will be cleared into either country with greater speed and certainty, and at a reduced cost of compliance
39
Road
• NEXUS– joint customs and immigration program for
frequent travellers that both Canadian and American governments have implemented
– dedicated lanes at select border crossings
– not be regularly subjected to usual customs and immigration questioning
40
Road
• Advance Cargo Reporting– Non-FAST = 1 hr prior to arrival at border
– FAST = none
• Shared border facilities under Canada-United States Accord on Our Shared Border- Joint Facilities Initiative
41
Rail
• Overview:– Constitutes 27% (in value), 32%
(in volume), of all CDN exports to US
– Projected growth rate of rail freight 1995-2020 = 38%
42
Rail
• Declaration of Principles– On April 3, 2003, US and Canadian customs
agencies and Canada’s two major railways signed a declaration of principles
– further enhances security at Canada-US border and to ensure Canada’s secure rail access to US
43
Rail
• The Declaration:– outlines principles for targeting, screening and
examining rail shipments to US by: • Canadian National Railway • Canadian Pacific Railway
– includes guidelines for collecting electronic manifests and installing imaging and radiation detection equipment
44
Marine
• Overview:– Constitutes 3% (in value), 27%
(in volume) of all CDN exports to US– Over 250 commercial ports– $100 billion passes through CPAs, generating
over $20 billion in annual economic activity and 250,000 direct and indirect jobs
– 3.5 million containers brought into Canada, but only 3% checked
45
Marine
• Feds committed C$172.5 million in 2003 on marine and port security
• Implementing International Ship and Port Facility (ISPS) Code– by July 1, 2004
46
Marine
• Enhanced security screening procedures for ships entering St. Lawrence Seaway/Great Lakes System
• Advance cargo reporting – 24 hours prior to lading– Canada is adopting US rule, giving up its
intention to require 96 hours
47
Air
• Overview:– Projected growth rate of air freight
1995-2020 = 91%
– Not very large when compared to big 3 (road, rail, marine)
48
Air
• Canadian Air Transport Security Authority (CATSA)– created April 1, 2002
• CAN-PASS AIR– implementation began July 2003– allows pre-screened, low-risk
travelers to pass quickly through Canadian customs and immigration at major Canadian airports
49
Air
• Share advance passenger information and agreed-to passenger name records
• Canada-US Pre-Clearance Agreement
• Air Travellers Security Charge
• Advance cargo reporting– flights > 4 hrs = 4 hrs prior to arrival
– flights < 4 hrs = at time of take off
50
Vendor Programs
• What challenges are there for organizations operating in this “secure” environment?
• Closely review new security environment and try to determine where and how new programs will affect you
• Often new infrastructure required but no or insufficient $ to offset costs imposed by federal government
51
Vendor Programs
• Ensure compliance department in place, if possible
• HR must be more vigilant in background checks– Vigilance must be balanced with realities and
unions/employees
– Tension with health/safety and privacy legislation
• Re-structure value chain depending on “just-in-time” structure of organization
52
Procurement
• Opportunities from investments in security-based initiatives
• $7.7 billion for security enhancement initiatives in 2001 budget
• $3 billion for infrastructure support in 2003 budget
53
Procurement
• Examples of goods required:– hi-tech equipment to scan freight– advanced explosives detection system– ion mobility spectrometers– underwater vehicles to search for
contraband/dangerous goods– VACIS (gamma-ray imaging system)
54
Procurement Programs
• Examples of services required– Operators of certain hi-tech equipment– Trainers of security personnel– Security assessments and plans for ship owners
and port facility operators– Assisting with security certification
• being done in US; possible in Canada?
55
Procurement Programs
• Outsourcing opportunities • P3 opportunities
56
Other Related Programs
• Money laundering legislation• Enhancements to surveillance and animal
tracking systems• New bank notes ($100, $50, and $20)• Canada opening new consulates in US
57
Summary & Recommendations
1. Be aware of changing government structure and programs
moving targetorganizations must be nimble
2. Enrol in trade facilitation programsNEXUS = people (ground)CAN-PASS = people (air) FAST = goodsanticipate challenges (e.g. union/employee reaction)
58
Summary & Recommendations
3. Comply to Compete• Comply with emerging security
enhancements• e.g.: advance cargo requirements
• beginning April 1, 2004• Marine:
24 hrs prior to lading• Road:
FAST: no advance notice requiredNon-FAST: 1 hr prior to arrival
59
Summary & Recommendations
Certify as requirede.g.: ISPS Code
compliance required by July 1, 2004 for all port facility operators and ship owners
Cause all in supply chain to comply and certifye.g.: representations & warranties and tiered remedies (including indemnities) regarding security compliance and certification
60
Summary & Recommendations
4. Seize Business Opportunitiesmassive government expenditures in Canada and the USsearch out request for proposals (RFPs) in order to be a prime government supplierprovide support services to those companies contracting directly with government

– Warranty, QA, Technical Data Rights Issues
• Government-Wide Emergency Contracting Procedures– Special Contracting Authority To All Executive
Agencies For Acquisition Of Goods And Services To Fight Terrorism

For Harm Caused By Product• Caps Contractor’s Liability To Amount Of
Liability Insurance• Allows Company To Move Action To Federal
Court And Limits Types Of Damages That Can Be Imposed
TECHNOLOGIES IN DEMAND• Bio-Hazard Detection• Decontamination Equipment• Vaccines And Antidotes For NBCR Threats• IT – Data Mining, Information Sharing, Etc.• Cyber-security• Biometrics• Equipment/Techniques To Secure Shipping,
Transportation Water Systems, And Energy Plants
