Congresswoman Claudia Tenney (NY-24) was appointed by Speaker of the House Kevin McCarthy to serve on the Canada-United States Inter-Parliamentary Group. The Inter-Parliamentary Group consists of a coalition of elected leaders from both Canada and the U.S. who are dedicated to promoting dialogue on policy issues of shared interest. 

They engage in bilateral discussions on issues such as trade, border management, Great Lakes, security, and economic opportunity, aiming to enhance cooperation and foster mutual benefits

"I am honored and grateful to have been named to serve on the Canada-United States Inter-Parliamentary Group,” said Congresswoman Tenney. “Canada and the United States are interconnected through shared values, economic ties, and commitment to democratic principles. I look forward to working alongside my fellow members to address key issues impacting our bilateral relationship, including trade, security, environmental concerns, and cultural exchange. I remain committed to fostering an open dialogue, collaboration, and cooperation with our Canadian counterparts.”

“I am proud to appoint Congresswoman Claudia Tenney to serve on the Canada-United States Interparliamentary Group," said Speaker of the House Kevin McCarthy. "As a representative of New York's 24th district, which shares a border with Canada, Claudia has worked to uphold the USMCA and promote mutually beneficial trade between our two countries. And as a leader in the Northern Border Security Caucus, she has fought to crack down on human and drug trafficking along the northern border. I have no doubt that Claudia's principled leadership and experience will be invaluable in further strengthening the relationship between the United States and Canada.”

Reps. Bill Huzienga (R-MI), Jack Bergman (R-MI), Pete Stauber (R-MN), Brad Finstad (R-MN) and Nick Langworthy (R-NY) were also appointed to serve as members of the group.
