    ¶6.   Proposed Canada group programs
    -----------------------------------

    A)  Current Economic, Political, Security and Social Issues

    This proposed project, for provincial and municipal
    politicians and political aides, representing several
    parties, would develop grantees' understanding of the
    workings of the U.S. political and economic policy-making
    system; federal/state/local relations;
    legislative/executive/judicial checks and balances; U.S.
    policies and public views on security and defense;
    international trade policies, especially those that affect
    Canada; health care and social security debates; energy
    policy; and environmental protection and conservation.  The
    project would be structured so that grantees participate in
    10 days of common programming, then split into smaller
    groups to pursue specific interests in the remaining 5
    program days.

    Proposed group members:

    --Yolanda James, Member of Quebec Legislative Assembly
    (Liberal);

    B)  Ground Transportation Safety and Planning

    This project would better acquaint two players involved in
    supporting Canada-U.S. trade via truck to overall U.S.
    security policies, U.S. border security concerns, regulation
    and implementation, including both northern and southern
    borders, ground transportation safety measures,

    infrastructure planning and funding, and broader border
    security measures, such as container inspection,
    bioterrorism countermeasures, and marine security
    cooperation.

    Nominees:

    --Stephen Laskowski, Assistant Vice President, Ontario
    Trucking Association;
    --Robert Kroeker, Director of Commercial Vehicle Safety,
    British Columbia Ministry of Solicitor General

    C)  Infrastructure Development and Protection

    environmental, and social aspects of infrastructure
    development in urban areas and at key U.S. border crossings.
    One nominee is a public sector manager, the other a business
    association leader.  The program would emphasize the
    positive interaction between the public and private sectors
    in the United States to identify priorities, stimulate
    investment, and implement infrastructure projects that
    support economic growth, safety and well-being of citizens.

    Nominees:

    Minister of State for Infrastructure and Communities,
    Ottawa;

    environmental issues)

    Canadian Parliament to the policy-making system in the
    United States, through discussions with federal, state and
    local government leaders and officials, experts, lobbyists,
    media, labor organizations, and interest groups on security,

    Canada relationship.  Specific topics will be determined in
    consultation with invitees, once approved.

    Nominees:

    diversity of our society.  Themes might include immigration
    policy and integration of new immigrants; business
    development among minorities and government policies in
    support of women- and minority-owned businesses; education

    how they are covered in the broadcast media.  Through
    meetings with federal executive, legislative and judicial
    branches, state and local governments, NGOs, industry and
    professional associations, and naturally, their counterparts
    in U.S. media organizations, they would gain insights into
    how the differing views of Americans merge in the policy-
    making process.  Specific issues on which they might focus
    include U.S. Homeland Security (e.g. balancing security
    measures with privacy and civil liberties concerns); U.S.
    Trade Policy (e.g. commitment to free trade, positions on
    agricultural trade distortions in world markets, U.S. trade
    remedies as applied to Canada-U.S. softwood, wheat and hog
    trade); Energy and Environmental Policy (respective
    contributions of energy companies, auto companies,
    alternative energy researchers and producers, nuclear power
    proponents, conservationists, public utilities, and NGOs),
    Prescription Drug Trade, or the Social Security Debate.

    Nominees:

    Scotia

    expert planning and dedication of Washington program
    officers and program agency colleagues.
