I just want to mention that all of the borders are different. Every plaza across the U.S.-Canadian border is different, and they have different requirements.
I did want to mention that the project at the Peace Bridge is an excellent pilot program. Kudos go to the Peace Bridge for pushing this forward.
This committee is looking for ways to improve things. One thing I want to mention is that this has been going on since 2021. The co-operation between CBSA and CBP has improved greatly in the nine years since I've been in my position, but you can see the holdup as the government is interacting and coming up with ways to get this to move with CBP and CBSA. It's a great project, and it should be moved along faster than it currently is.
If the committee is looking at ways to improve, there's great communication back and forth, but somebody has to get in the middle to push these projects through.
