New England's governors and their eastern Canadian counterparts wrapped up their three day annual meeting in Quebec City yesterday.
The leaders endorsed resolutions to increase border cooperation and promote freer movement of trade between Canada and the United States.
They also agreed to continue their fight against global warming and improve energy cooperation.
The Resolution on Energy Cooperation should help to ensure that red tape doesn't get in the way of importing clean hyrdo-generated electricity from Canada.
