Goodale: Goodale said the government is also looking at adding preclearance procedures for train routes from Montreal to New York and in Western Canada, according to CTV. Eventually, he said, the plan is to also examine preclearance options for shipping cargo across the border. Now, following Trudeau visit to Washington, D.C., Goodale said Canada and the U.S. plan to add more airports to that list. "This will now allow us to expand the list to include, potentially, the Billy Bishop airport at Toronto Island the Jean Lesage airport in Quebec City," he said. The goal of the additional preclearance locations is to streamline the travel security process, Goodale said. "The more you can preclear on the Canadian side, the smoother the whole transportation process is," he said. Under this deal, the countries will share "tombstone" data on travellers. Information-sharing In addition to agreeing on new preclearance measures, Canada and the U.S. agreed to increase the amount of border-crossing information they will share with each other.
