When I was Governor of Massachusetts, we worked to get Sable Island gas into New England.

We are very grateful for what the Ontario provincial government is doing, and for cooperation from provincial and local police forces all across Canada.

We are also looking to Canada as we continue to integrate the North American energy market.

The agreement to place the binational planning group at our new Northern Command was also signed in December.

I can tell you that the Canadian intelligence and law enforcement agencies have been providing outstanding co-operation with our intelligence and law enforcement agencies as we work together to track down terrorists here in North America and put them out of commission.

We are at war to liberate Iraq, to protect the people of the United States and other countries from the devastating impact of Iraqi weapons of mass destruction being used by terrorists or the Iraqi government to kill thousands of innocent civilians.

We already get more energy from Canada than from any other foreign country.
