2014-15 Report on the Beyond the Border Action Plan Horizontal Initiative

Public Safety Canada Sep 20, 2016

On February 4, 2011, Canada and the United States (U.S.) committed to working together through the Beyond the Border: A Shared Vision for Perimeter Security and Economic Competitiveness. The Declaration initiated a new long-term partnership between the two countries that was built upon a perimeter approach to security and economic competitiveness. This horizontal initiative aims to enhance our collective security and accelerate the flow of legitimate goods, services, and people, both at and beyond the border. The Beyond the Border (BTB) Action Plan, released in December 2011, embodies this collaboration and engagement between our two countries, and sets out specific initiatives (Appendix A) to secure the Canada-U.S. border and perimeter while facilitating legitimate trade and travel.

The Action Plan sets out joint priorities for achieving a secure and efficient Canada-U.S. border within four areas of cooperation: Addressing Threats Early; Trade Facilitation, Economic Growth and Jobs; Cross-Border Law Enforcement; and, Critical Infrastructure and Cyber Security. In total, 32 initiatives are listed under the four areas, with two additional initiatives covering the responsible sharing of personal information and centralized oversight of the Action Plan's implementation.

The Government of Canada has been working closely with its U.S. counterparts in ensuring the success of the Action Plan. The purpose of this Horizontal Initiative Report is to provide updates to progress made from the publication of the last Report Note1 on the Government of Canada's work on implementing the Action Plan for the 2014-15 fiscal year.

Public Safety Canada (PS) coordinates the development of this report, collecting updated information from all federal BTB organizations. These departments and agencies continue to work toward successful implementation of the BTB initiatives for which they are responsible. Additional details can be found in each organization's Departmental Performance Report (DPR).

For more information and descriptions of Action Plan initiatives, please consult the Beyond the Border Action Plan. While this report focuses on Canadian progress, joint Canada-U.S. implementation reports are released annually, with the last one published in March 2015 Note2.

The figure below illustrates the outcomes to which the 34 Beyond the Border initiatives contribute. The four overarching outcomes will support the achievement of a secure Canada-U.S. border and perimeter, and the facilitation of legitimate trade and travel. This figure also presents the structure which will be used in the report to demonstrate progress on the BTB initiatives.
