Establishing a Domestic Verified Travellers Program

Senator Paula Simons tabled a motion on September 24, 2025 calling for the Government to investigate the creation of a sovereign, domestic Verified Travellers Program for Canadians. The proposed program would allow pre-screened, low-risk Canadian air passengers to use express security lanes at Canadian airports and would be fully administered by Canada. This analysis assumes that the program will begin on April 1, 2026.
