“We obviously need to intensify our discussions with our border authorities in the United States, including the Department of Homeland Security,” Goodale stated. “This does seem to be a ludicrous situation. Three or four other jurisdictions in the United States. [T]here’s certain ironies about the current American position that we will certainly be very vociferous in putting before them.”
