Passport Canada releases its Public Consultations Findings Report
GATINEAU, QC, Oct. 25 /CNW/ - Passport Canada today released its Public Consultations Findings Report, which gives a detailed account of suggestions made by Canadians on how to improve service at Passport Canada.
Launched in the spring of 2010, the consultations provided a unique opportunity for interested parties to make their voices heard and give Passport Canada new ideas and a better sense of their expectations regarding passport services.
The report provides a detailed and objective account of what was heard during the public consultations. In accordance with the User Fees Act, Passport Canada is using the input from the consultations to design an updated service offering and fee structure to support the adoption of the electronic passport, or ePassport.
A Canadian passport is the only reliable and universally accepted travel and identification document available to Canadians for the purpose of international travel. The introduction of the more secure ePassport will provide a document that benefits all Canadians by protecting the security of Canada. For more information, please visit www.passportcanada.gc.ca.
