The Government of Canada announced on May 7, 2004, that it would assist Canada’s ports with the cost of modernizing and strengthening their security systems and programs.
The Marine Security Contribution Program is a three-year, $115 million commitment to assist ports and port facilities with security enhancements. The program is application-based and provides funding on a cost-shared basis for a number of clearly identified eligible expenses.
Under the program, ports and marine facilities will be able to apply for funds to assist with security enhancements called for under their Transport Canada approved Port Security Plans or Marine Facilities Security Plans. These funds will not only assist by helping to offset the costs borne by participants in finalizing their initial work to meet the basic requirements of their plans, it will also help them to extend and build on these security enhancements in the future.
The program allows for the reimbursement of eligible expenses, for the period of April 1, 2004 to November 2007, and is subject to all expenditure controls applicable to contribution programs as per Treasury Board Transfer Payments Policy.
Applicants must ensure that their proposed projects are included in their Transport Canada approved Security Plan, therefore a list of the projects should be submitted separately to the Regional Security Inspector to ensure that the Security Plan either already includes the projects or is amended and updated to include them. Projects that are not clearly identified in a Security Plan will not be considered.
