This legislation sets rules by which American border agents will operate in Canada. thereby allowing a land port of entry to move the inspection of all inbound cargo to the Canadian side of the border. Last year U.S. Customs and Border Protection conducted a pilot program at the Peace Bridge in Buffalo. It concluded that preinspection of cargo would double the capacity of the bridge and slash wait times during peak season from 22 minutes to 5 minutes. The Peace Bridge is an economic lifeline between western New York and southern Ontario. and its efficiency and safety is a top priority.
