What is the Security and Prosperity Partnership of North America?
The SPP was launched by the leaders of Canada, the United States (U.S.) and Mexico in March 2005. The SPP provides a flexible means for ongoing dialogue, priority setting, collaboration and action on issues affecting the security, prosperity and quality of life of Canadians, Americans and Mexicans. The partnership is based on the principle that our security and prosperity are mutually dependent and complementary. It addresses diverse issues, such as border facilitation, energy, the environment, food and product safety, and overall North American competitiveness.
