Law Enforcement: Progress Report

49th Parallel Dept: OTTAWA - Legal snags have delayed but not halted plans by Canada and the United States to deepen co-operation on cross-border law enforcement, according to Winnipeg Free Press. The deal being phased in over several years aims to smooth the passage of goods and people across the 49th parallel while bolstering defences along the continental border and vehicles line up at the Emerson border crossing in Manitoba. In a one-year progress report on the highly touted binational perimeter security deal, the two countries said Friday they've made significant progress but realize there's still much work to do.
