Canada Border Services Agency Releases Report On Dziekanski Incident

Based on the findings of the review, the CBSA is taking immediate action on the following recommendations: 1. The CBSA, along with other partners such as the Vancouver Airport Authority, will review procedures on services provided for international travellers and those waiting to meet them. 2. The CBSA will update its list of employees who can speak languages other than English and French. The CBSA will also review its interpreter services to make sure that the services are provided as quickly as possible. 3. More cameras will be installed to provide an expanded coverage of the CBSA’s area at Vancouver International Airport. 4. The Agency will explore options to have more patrols and security checks within the CBSA’s area. 5. The CBSA will review its procedure to ensure that all persons referred for further examinations report to the secondary examination areas within a reasonable amount of time. 6. The CBSA may also implement actions as new information and facts are revealed by the ongoing investigations. "I assure you that the CBSA is committed to implementing these recommendations without delay here at Vancouver International Airport and at other international airports as appropriate, to further secure and safely facilitate travellers’ entry," said Mr. Jolicoeur. http://www.cbsa-asfc.gc.ca/media/release-communique/2007/1126vancouver-eng.html report here: http://www.cbsa-asfc.gc.ca/media/release-communique/2007/1126-r-eng.html & timeline here: http://www.cbsa-asfc.gc.ca/media/release-communique/2007/1126-c-eng.pdf
