Mr. Marc Grégoire at the Transport, Infrastructure and Communities Committee

I did negotiate with the administrator of TSA in the previous year. We now are negotiating security clearances and mutual recognition for port workers and Canadian mariners who board ships.

We have not negotiated here yet because we don't have any program for this. What we have now is the FAST program. But what was negotiated through the SPP was the vision to have a mutually recognizable system, mutually acceptable to the countries.
