Canadian Defense Minister John McCallum said U.S.-Canadian talks on missile defense cooperation  are “proceeding well,” the Toronto Star reported today (see GSN, June 2).

U.S. and Canadian officials met three times this summer to discuss Canada’s potential role in a continental missile defense system, according to the Star.

“I’m hoping that sometime in the fall we might be able to come back to [the] Cabinet.  But we are talking about very important issues and I’m not going to rush it,” he said.

McCallum did not say what role Canada might play in the system or whether any missiles could be based on Canadian soil (Bruce Campion-Smith, Toronto Star, Sept. 11).
