New security cards will suit both countries, Bush says

[tuvor]

U.S. President George W. Bush says American officials are working with Canada to ensure that proposed security requirements at the border do not interfere with trade and the movement of legitimate travellers.

Bush says he still supports the plan to require a passport or another secure document for everyone crossing into the United States. But he said it's important to ensure that security measures suit the needs of both countries.

Canada remains a friend and a neighbour, Bush said after a speech in Chicago on Monday, adding that he is well aware that Canada has reservations about the new security system.

"We're working with your government to make that the identification cards that will be used between our two borders are compatible, not only with our needs but your needs," Bush told a Canadian in the audience. "We're working on it to make sure that whatever documents are needed will not be restrictive, but nevertheless (provide) information, I guess is the best way to put it."

This Canadian doesn't want to carry any forged documents anywhere--particularly in the USA.
