Mr. Speaker, on September 11 many of the senior officers protecting U.S. airspace at NORAD were Canadians. Americans have never been concerned about sharing their protection with Canada.
Over one month ago the PC/DR coalition proposed joint border management to protect North America, a proposal echoed by the Coalition for Secure and Trade Efficient Borders.
Why did the government not follow up on this initiative to assure Americans that their northern border was secure?
