On March 13th,
2011 the Canadian Government announced a public consultation process of 29
working days for the Declaration made by Prime Minister and President Obama
that will further merge Canada
with the United States.
Canadians have
only until April 21, 2011 to submit their thoughts on the proposed integrated
border plan that includes this statement,
"In order
to promote mobility between our two countries, we expect to work towards an
integrated Canada-United States entry-exit system, including works towards the
exchange of relevant entry information in the land environment so that
documented entry into one country serves to verify exit from the other
country."
The Declaration
on a Shared Vision for Perimeter Security and
Economic Competitiveness states four primary objectives:
1) Addressing
threats early
2) Trade
facilitation, economic growth and jobs
3) Integrated
cross-border law enforcement
4) Critical infrastructure
and cyber security
The full details
of the plan are not available on the website, nor is there any mention on who
comprises the "Beyond the Border" working group.
More information
and more time on this important change must be made accessible and known to the
citizens of Canada.
The Canadian
Action party is concerned about the potential threats that this declaration has
on our National Sovereignty and is demanding the following:
1) An extension
of the public consultation process
2) A list of the
members that comprise the Beyond the Border working group
3) The full text
of the Declaration signed by Prime Minister Harper and President Obama
We are asking
all Canadians to "Spring for Our Sovereignty" on March 21st, 2011 to
make the public aware of this consultation process. To ensure it is not rushed
through without the input of the Citizens of Canada.
