Mr. Speaker, in the report from the U.S. this past week, the comments by and large were very favourable about the relationship with Canada, about what they called the “northern border”, and about the strength of security and other operations along that border. Indeed, the former secretary of homeland security, who is now chief of staff in the White House had nothing but praise for the Canadian border and said that he was happy to work with Canada to ensure that the border was constantly thinning, to the advantage of both countries.
