Prime Minister Stephen Harper: Stephen Harper

Border Security Dept: Officials from both countries are in the final stages of discussing the terms of the perimeter security "action plan.", according to Montreal Gazette. The two, who met in Washington in February to announce the start of negotiations, are expected to meet publicly again to formally unveil the plan and prime Minister Stephen Harper will soon announce the details of a "comprehensive" border-security deal with the United States to tighten protection from terrorists and speed up crossborder traffic for travellers and businesses. It's expected that Harper and U.S. President Barack Obama will unveil the deal in the coming weeks, although officials stress that more negotiation needs to be done in some areas before a final sign-off can occur.
