Bush to Tackle Border Delays, Security in Canada-Mexico Talks

Excerpt:
"President George W. Bush travels today to Quebec for talks with Canadian and Mexican leaders that will be dominated by two increasingly conflicting goals: tightening border security and speeding commercial traffic between the trading partners.

In two days of meetings in Montebello with Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper and Mexican President Felipe Calderon, Bush will discuss ways to reduce waiting times for trucks at the borders with new technology and coordinated inspection hours, David Bohigian, an assistant secretary of commerce, said. The leaders will also discuss cooperation on protecting intellectual property and expanding airline services, as well as issues such as Afghanistan and the Middle East."
