MONTREAL — A simple identity card the size of a driver’s licence could be sufficient to allow Canadians to travel in the United States, the U.S. ambassador said Wednesday.
“The Department of Homeland Security is given the jurisdiction or the authority to come up with that or equivalent secure documents,” Wilkins said in an interview.
“If we reach uniformity (in documentation) it will actually speed trade and speed legitimate travellers up.”
