We the undersigned, residents of Canada in the province of Alberta, draw the attention of the House to the following:

THAT, the Wild Horse Border Crossing is not a 24 hour port of entry and Alberta is the only province which borders the United States of America and has only one 24 hour port of entry.

THAT, commercial traffic and travelers can access Alberta 24 hours per day at only ONE port of entry from the United States of America into Canada.

THAT, Alberta provides significant economic contributions to the Canadian economy and a 24-hour Wild Horse Port of Entry will further increase this contribution by enhancing trade with the United States of America.

THAT, the economic growth and greater cost effectiveness for businesses, which will transpire with access to a second 24-hour port, will benefit the whole province of Alberta.

THEREFORE, your petitioners call upon Parliament to legislate to open the Wild Horse Border crossing as a second 24 hour port of entry from the United States of America to Alberta.
