Thank you.
The IJC is created by the two countries—Canada and the U.S.—pursuant to a treaty, but we work in collaboration with state- and provincial-level governments also, and indigenous governments. In particular, we do so through a program called the international watersheds initiative, where we have a specific mandate to bring all players—governments, citizens and nations—from within our watershed to try to create transboundary collaboration for the best interests of the shared waters.
Yes, we routinely deal with provinces, territories and nations in the work that we do in order to find that shared common vision.
