Canada and the United States face a rare window of opportunity to reduce security risks and foster more fruitful flows of commerce across their common border, according to a report released today by the C.D.

In “Beyond the Border and Back to the Future: Seizing the Opportunity to Enhance Canadian and US Economic Growth and Security,” author Daniel Schwanen says efforts underway to improve cross-border flows can succeed – if the two countries build lasting mechanisms to enhance cooperation and protect individual rights.
