I even took a vacation a few years ago to do a brief home stay in a francophone household in Montr\u00e9al. When I heard about the FLAS program, applying for a fellowship through the Jackson School\u2019s Canadian Studies Center seemed a great way to combine my interest in international natural resources, finance, and tax with study of a country that has captured my interest. I\u2019m currently on the staff of the law school\u2019s <i>Washington Journal of Environmental Law &amp; Policy<\/i> and am writing an article for that publication on how changes in the North American utilities industry may affect new agreements between the U.S. and Canada. More specifically, I\u2019m curious about how deregulation of electricity markets by state and provincial governments starting in the 1980s and the implementation of NAFTA in the 1990s may play a role in determining new terms of the Columbia River Treaty in 2014. The FLAS has provided a really exciting opportunity to both study more French and gain a deeper understanding of Canadian federalism.<\/p>\n<p><i>Funding for FLAS Fellowships is provided by a Center allocation from <a href=\"http:\/\/www2.ed.gov\/programs\/iegpsflasf\/index.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">International and Foreign Language Education<\/a>, U.S. Department of Education.
