Canada’s Justice Minister and Attorney General Sean Fraser said they held a “productive first meeting” with U.S. Attorney General Pamela Bondi in Washington on Aug. 27, where they discussed “shared priorities,” such as enhancing border security and addressing fentanyl trafficking, according to Canada’s Department of Justice.
The meeting was also attended by Canada’s “fentanyl czar” Kevin Brosseau and Public Safety Minister Gary Anandasangaree, according to an Aug. 27 readout of the meeting, which described the engagement as an “opportunity” to highlight Canada’s “ongoing efforts to keep communities safe on both sides of our shared border.”
