At the Pembina port of entry. we have 100.000 people a month crossing the border. To require a passport for that is. in my judgment. far too burdensome. A passport now costs a $55 fee. a $12 security surcharge. and a $30 execution chargea total of $97 to obtain a passport. I believe very strongly we do need border security. no question about that. That is important. But I think. especially with respect to day travel and common tourist and business practices across. for example. the United StatesCanadian border. with which I am familiar. to require a passport for moving across that border is enormously burdensome.
