| Abstract | As part of the Action Plan, the two countries are to pursue a major new initiative relating to infrastructure proposed and developed by Transport Canada (TC), U.S. Department of Transportation (USDOT), Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) and U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP). This initiative has two key elements. First, Canada and the U.S. “commit to make significant investments in physical infrastructure at key crossings to relieve congestion and speed the movement of traffic across the border.” The Action Plan listed the following as examples of significant infrastructure upgrades: “customs plaza replacement and redevelopment; additional primary inspection lanes and booths; expanded or new secondary inspection facilities; expanded or new connecting roads, highway interchanges and bridges.” These investments depend upon funding appropriations approved by the Canadian Parliament and the U.S. Congress. Nothing in the Action Plan and in this document is intended to give rise to rights or obligations under domestic or international law; neither the Action Plan nor this document are intended to constitute an international treaty under international law. CBP investments are to be delivered in partnership with the General Services Administration (GSA) which functions as CBP’s ports of entry Service Provider. |
