No. H242/05
For release November 23, 2005
OTTAWA - New projects to enhance security at Canadian ports and marine facilities under the second round of funding from the Marine Security Contribution Program were announced today by Transport Minister Jean-C. Lapierre.
The three-year, $115-million program, which was announced in May 2004, is helping Canada's ports and marine facilities to modernize and strengthen their security systems and programs. This contribution program is part of the National Security Policy announced on April 27, 2004, which sets out a six-point plan to strengthen marine security across Canada.
"Security is at the top of the Government of Canada's list," said Mr. Lapierre. "Today's funding will enable ports and marine facilities to make necessary improvements to the security of their operations which will ultimately help ensure Canada's transportation system remains secure and efficient."
This round of funding will provide up to $26.9 million to 101 ports and marine facilities across the country. The funds go towards security enhancements such as surveillance equipment, dockside and perimeter security, command, control and communications equipment, and training.
The Marine Security Contribution Program is application-based and provides funding to recipients on a cost-sharing basis for a number of clearly identified eligible expenses. Ports and marine facilities will be able to apply for a third round of funding starting in January 2006.
Funding for these projects was provided for in the March 2004 federal budget and is therefore built into the existing financial framework.
Backgrounders on the Marine Security Contribution Program and the selected projects are attached.

BACKGROUNDER
MARINE SECURITY CONTRIBUTION PROGRAM
The Marine Security Contribution Program is a three-year, $115-million Government of Canada commitment to assist ports and marine facilities with security enhancements. The program is application-based and provides funding on a cost-shared basis
- 75 per cent government / 25 per cent recipient - for a number of clearly identified eligible expenses.
Through the Canadian Marine Transportation Security Regulations, the Government of Canada requires ports and marine facilities to have approved security plans. Under the Marine Security Contribution Program, ports and marine facilities can apply for funds to be used for the purchase of new security equipment and the implementation of programs required under their security plans. These funds will not only assist participants in completing their initial work to meet the requirements of their plans, but will also help them to extend and build on these security enhancements in the future. Canada's commitment to meet
- and in fact, exceed - the International Maritime Organization's security requirements will help ensure that Canada's marine transportation system remains one of the most secure in the world.
Projects eligible for funding include:
installation of surveillance equipment, including cameras and closed-circuit TV systems;
improvements to dockside and perimeter security and access control, such as fencing, gates, signage and lighting;
acquisition of command, control and communications equipment, such as portable and vessel-to-shore radios; and
training and security design studies.
The program is retroactive to April 1, 2004 and is subject to all expenditure controls applicable to contribution programs.
