Canadian Council Of Chief Executives: Perimeter Security

Liberal Cabinet Dept: Former foreign minister John Manley, head of the Canadian Council of Chief Executives, says the estimated $1-billion cost of the pact will be money well spent that pays dividends over time, according to The Chronicle Herald. "It s one of those areas where you can say actually there s going to be payback over time. The fact that the number is that big probably suggests that some of this is long overdue." OTTAWA The federal government s new perimeter security deal with the United States will create jobs and stimulate growth in both countries, says a leading business voice and one-time Liberal cabinet minister. "Some of that expenditure is going to have to be made, to make things work. But to the extent that you facilitate the supply chain across the Canada-U.S. border, you re going to create jobs on both sides," Manley said Thursday in an interview. (www.immigrantscanada.com).
