Canadian
Section of the Canada-U.S. Inter-Parliamentary Group to Host Senator Janis Johnson (Manitoba) and Mr. Gord Brown, M.P. (Ontario), Co‑Chairs of the Canada-United States Inter-Parliamentary Group (IPG), will host the IPG’s 54th annual meeting in Ottawa from 6-9 June 2014. Twenty‑four Canadian and American federal legislators will discuss a range of issues that are significant to both countries. The first annual meeting of the IPG was held on 9-10 January 1959 in Washington, D.C., and federal legislators from both countries have attempted to meet annually since that time, with the meeting alternating between the two countries. The annual meeting is a primary means by which the IPG achieves its goals of identifying shared values and finding possible solutions to a variety of bilateral and multilateral issues of concern to both countries.
