Public Safety Minister Marco Mendicino said Friday that Canada and the U.S. have signed four new or updated agreements aimed at stopping the smuggling and trafficking of guns across the Canada-U.S. border.

Mendicino made the comments following a meeting of the cross-border crime forum, in which he and Justice Minister and Attorney General David Lametti met with U.S. Homeland Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas and Attorney General Merrick Garland.

The agreements allow increased sharing of information between Canada Border Services Agency and RCMP and their counterparts in the U.S.

“It means more joint investigations into gun smuggling and trafficking, it means even more exchanging of intelligence and information between our law enforcement agencies. Importantly, it means making even more progress on the tracing of illegal guns so that we can hold those criminals and organized criminal networks to account,” said Mendicino.

Mendicino said the countries would also work together to tackle the problem of “ghost guns” through the cross-border firearms task force, which will work to trace and seize guns used in crime.

Mendicino Garland also said that Canada and the U.S. have agreed to increase information-sharing between the two countries to “target each stage of the movement, manufacture, and sale of fentanyl from start to finish.”
