Foreign Affairs committee  I'll answer your second question first. There is tons of transboundary work under way particularly via the United Nations and inter-university organizations, but I really can't speak to the applicability of any of that to the current situation. With respect to your first question about drought and aridity issues in the U.S. southwest in particular, I've just come back from there.

Foreign Affairs committee  Good morning. Thank you for the opportunity to be with you today. I am the director of the program on water issues at the Munk School of Global Affairs at the University of Toronto. With me today are my colleagues, Owen Saunders and Frank Quinn. We are here on behalf of the Canadian Water Issues Council, or CWIC, as we like to call it.
