Marine Security Contribution Program
The Marine Security Contribution Program began as a three-year, $115 million commitment to assist ports and port facilities with security enhancements. In June 2006, the Government announced that the program would be expanded to include domestic ferry operators and would also be extended by two years for facilities, other than Canada Port Authorities. 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, marine facilities, domestic ferry terminal operators and domestic ferry vessel operators are able to apply for funds to assist with security enhancements called for under their Transport Canada approved Port /Marine Facilities Security Plans or in the case of domestic ferries, Transport Canada reviewed Security Plans. These funds 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, they also help them to extend and build on these security enhancements in the future.
The program allows for the reimbursement of eligible expenses. For all recipients other than domestic ferries, eligible expenses are retroactive to April 1, 2004; for domestic ferries, eligible expenses are retroactive to June 22, 2006, which is the date that the program expansion was effected. The program is subject to all expenditure controls applicable to contribution programs.
