The federal government unveiled a $1.3-billion plan in December to bolster security and surveillance on the Canada - U.S. border.

It announced additional plans this week for a fentanyl czar, a new capacity to gather intelligence on transnational organized crime and a move to list drug cartels as terrorist organizations.

The listing process begins with intelligence reports that indicate whether an organization has knowingly carried out, attempted to carry out, participated in or facilitated a terrorist activity.

McGuinty said he has reminded American officials that illicit drugs are also travelling north.

“This is a two -way street,” he said. “The fentanyl crisis is particularly egregious because fentanyl is so lethal — it’s lethal in Canada and the United States .”.
