It seems law enforcement agencies are doing all they can to ensure protesters at the upcoming North American Leaders' Summit in Montebello, Que., stay as far from the official action as possible.

They have had built a new, three-metre-high metal fence starting at the edge of town. Every twenty metres or so, there is a security camera looking down on passers-by.

All that security could lead protesters to think their message won't be heard. But that won't be the case.

Earlier today, a spokesperson for the prime minister told a roomful of journalists that U.S. President George W. Bush, Mexican President Felipe Calderon and Prime Minister Stephen Harper will have their own front row seat on the going-ons from the other side of the fence.

She said summit organizers will provide an audio and video feed of the protesters to those who are participating in the official conference in compliance with a court decision that protesters have a right to be both "seen and heard."
