The caucus will focus specifically on border security, commerce, energy cooperation and tourism issues, according to an invitation letter sent to prospective members.
It is co-chaired by Republican Congressmen Henry Brown from South Carolina and Don Manzullo from Illinois. U.S. ambassador to Canada David Wilkins welcomes the formation of the caucus as a positive step in U.S-Canada relations.
"I think anytime that we in the United States can raise the awareness of the importance of Canada and the wonderful trade relationship we have, is a positive step," he said in an interview with Embassy.
"As you raise the awareness level, you raise the appreciation level of the relationship and friendship that the two countries enjoy."
