Pre-arrival targeting is a critical component of the [Canada Border Services Agency's] risk-management approach ... Without pre-arrival targeting to identify high-risk goods and travellers, the movement of people and goods would be greatly delayed by more intensive scrutiny at primary inspection lines, and would incur an enormous cost to the Agency and its clients (e.g. importers, exporters, airlines). 1, record 1, English, - pre%2Darrival%20targeting

A Joint Monitoring Program (JMP) was established precisely to determine whether or not CEAA [Canadian Environmental Assessment Act] was exerting negative impacts on competitiveness. Undertaken jointly by the CEA Agency [Canadian Environmental Assessment Agency] and Industry Canada, with the participation of Natural Resources Canada, this one-year program was designed to collect comments on any problems encountered by proponents; to carry out a competitiveness study to establish the actual cost of the environmental assessment process to proponents; and to document the benefits of the process to both environmental protection and the promotion of environmental technologies. Launched on 1 April 1995, the JMP was terminated on 31 March 1996. 3, record 6, English, - Joint%20Monitoring%20Program

Il s’agit d’un programme d’un an, qui avait pour objectif de recueillir des commentaires sur tous les problèmes constatés par les promoteurs, de mener une étude sur la compétitivité permettant d’établir le coût réel du processus d’évaluation environnementale pour les promoteurs et enfin de calculer les avantages du processus, tant pour la protection de l'environnement que pour la promotion des technologies vertes.
