New Canadian prime minister Stephen Harper, Mexican president Vicente Fox, and U.S. president George W. Bush met on March 31 in Cancún, Quintana Roo. This summit followed the leaders’ March 2005 meeting in Waco, Texas, where the North American Security and Prosperity Partnership (NASPP) was launched. The NASPP involves officials in all three federal governments in working groups with their counterparts to facilitate integration by reconciling standards and procedures wherever prudent.
The result is a process of bureaucratically led integration, currently underway.
