Thank you, Commissioner.

You're correct. It's a truly binational operating program. The members train together. The training is done in South Carolina. The premise is this: If there's an interdiction required on the Canadian side, the Canadian law enforcement officials utilize their authorities. When the ship crosses over to the U.S. side, there's respect of sovereignty, and U.S. law enforcement uses its powers.
