Canada has an effective marine security system capable of adapting quickly to new demands. At the same time, the Government of Canada is continually looking for ways to improve public safety and national security. 

Marine security involves a wide range of partners, including federal departments and agencies; industry, labour and public interest groups; shippers, shipping companies, port and facility operators, and the international community. Through close collaboration with these organizations, the Government of Canada is working to develop the best transportation system for Canada and Canadians.
