Information
Organization's Own Description:
The Association’s purpose is to find points of convergence in the respective national policies of Canada and the United States, initiate dialogue on points of divergence, encourage exchanges of information and promote better understanding between Canadian and American parliamentarians on shared issues of concern.
The association convenes an annual meeting, alternating between Canada and the United States, attended by delegates from the Parliament of Canada and the United States Congress where they seek to identify shared values and find possible solutions to a variety of bilateral and multilateral matters of concern to both countries.
In addition to the Inter-Parliamentary Group’s annual meeting, association members continue their bilateral efforts by travelling to Washington for meetings with US Senators and members of the House of Representatives to discuss such issues as trade, softwood lumber, the Western Hemisphere Travel Initiative and other border concerns, energy, environment, security and defence. Delegations from the Canadian section also participate in national and regional conferences of governors and state legislators, as well as in national and regional summits organized by business groups and local parliamentary associations interested in transborder trade and tourism.
