2. The Building of a Security Exercise Program APEC, Vancouver, September 2006 2006/TPT-WG-28/MEG-SEC/034

3. Changing a Culture The maritime industry and appropriate government bodies have had to play a major role in the implementation of a new philosophy in facing the security realities like never before. Tremendous efforts have been put forward to better understand a multitude of concepts starting with the identifying of risks and continuing with the actioning of security plans. Often, organizations lose momentum when it’s time to test and exercise these plans. 2006/TPT-WG-28/MEG-SEC/034

4. The Building of a Sustainable Program As a governing body in Canada, Transport Canada has incorporated the requirements and guidelines of the ISPS Code into the Marine Transportation Security Regulations. The early challenges in Threat Risk Assessments and Security Plans are behind us. The continuing challenge is the maintaining and enhancing of those security practices in place. 2006/TPT-WG-28/MEG-SEC/034

5. Where do we start? How do we ensure that security plans are accurate and realistic? - as the Government ….. audit and inspect? - as the operator…….test and exercise? Does it make sense for Government and Industry to work in isolation? Who has responsibility to ensure that the security works? How do we maximize our capabilities to increase our successes? 2006/TPT-WG-28/MEG-SEC/034

6. Is this new to Industry and Government? Industry has had in place for several years emergency plans that are regularly tested Government has emergency and business resumption plans that are regularly tested Responders have response plans that are regularly trained to, exercised and tested INDIVIDUALLY THE TOOLS ARE IN PLACE 2006/TPT-WG-28/MEG-SEC/034
