The federal Justice Department says Justice Minister Sean Fraser, Public Safety Minister Gary Anandasangaree and Canada's fentanyl czar, Kevin Brosseau, held a "productive first meeting" with U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi in Washington on Wednesday afternoon.
"They discussed shared priorities and explored ways to strengthen collaboration between their department," Justice Canada said in a readout following the meeting.
The department also said the meeting was an opportunity for Canada to highlight its efforts to keep communities safe from fentanyl and transnational criminal organizations on both sides of the border.
The meeting lasted about 45 minutes and the tone was warm and cordial, according to Fraser's office. The Canadian officials also exchanged personal numbers with Bondi and agreed to stay in close contact.
