There's already "anecdotal" evidence that cross-border traffic has been affected by the impending law, Canadian Chamber of Commerce president Nancy Hughes Anthony told the conference. She said bookings for travel and conferences are down.
Border communities have warned of billions of dollars in lost business if travellers decide that it's too costly or cumbersome to get passports or the new ID cards.
Only about 20 per cent of Americans and 37 per cent of Canadians have passports.
Clearly this is a bad idea whose time will hopefully never come.

Wait a minute. Tow posts farther down an article you cut and pasted says that 34% of Americans and 41% of Canadians have passports. Which is it? Bailey it is this kind of thing that impacts negatively on credibility.
