Thank you for the question. My name is Michael Bonser. I'm the associate assistant deputy minister of strategic policy, international affairs.
I'm sorry; by moving my seating position up here, I've probably eaten into your six minutes.
The short answer is that we have a very robust approach to dealing with transboundary issues, especially with the United States. It involves provinces, states, indigenous peoples. It is based around our work through the ICJ, the International Court of Justice, as you probably know as well.
I will take back the specifics around this question and we can come back to the committee with a stronger and more complete answer as to the question and the sense that Canada is absent from this. That is not something that I had understood, but I will go back to the department and my team, and we'll come back to the committee with more information.
