Thank you, Madam Chair, and thank you to the witnesses for being here today.
I represent the riding of Richmond Centre, which also has the largest airport on the west coast, Vancouver airport. I have stakeholders, customs importers, reflecting their concerns to me about the role of CARM.
Before I proceed to further questions, I'd like to get an understanding of the funding that was allocated 14 years ago. What issue was identified such that a new system was needed to replace the existing revenue assessment and collection system that was being used to levy duties and tax at the borders?
