There are, again, different arrangements. Certainly, within the United States context, its coast guard plays a very direct role in law enforcement. Under 14 USC 522, the U.S. Coast Guard is empowered to enforce federal laws on the high seas and within U.S. waters to deal with things like drug trafficking, illegal immigration and environmental violations. I don't envisage Canada going that far with our Coast Guard, but I think we can learn from some of its best practices what elements of that work.
I certainly don't think we will extend to some of their practices on the high seas outside of our internal waters or territorial seas. That said, I think looking at the kinds of tools it has and the kinds of training and capabilities it has developed to enforce U.S. laws is something we can look to.
If we look more broadly to what our Nordic allies are doing to integrate their coast guards into their total defence and comprehensive security postures in their countries, that is also something that encourages us to tighten those ties with our Nordic allies, not only to learn from them but also to share some of our best practices.
