Requests the federal government increase hours of service at Montana-Canada customs ports of entry, which U.S. Customs and Border Protection has reduced at several locations

Montana exports $1.2 billion in goods and services to Canada annually, making Canada the state's number one export market—exceeding Montana's next 20 largest foreign markets combined

Reduced port hours have impeded commerce, trade, and cross-border travel for business, leisure, competitive sports, and family visits

U.S.-Canada bilateral trade totals $2.7 billion daily with over 300,000 people crossing the border each day

Directs the Secretary of State to send copies of the resolution to the President of the United States and Montana's Congressional Delegation
