Thank you, Mr. Chair.
My thanks also go to the witnesses for being here with us today and for their excellent presentations.
My first question is about the RCMP.
Right now, when a Canadian is detained in a foreign country, when he is arrested, consular officials from the Department of Foreign Affairs are notified right away. In some cases, would it not be appropriate for our foreign service to be able to question those individuals?
Imagine if someone is arrested in Bangkok for being in the possession of 10 kilograms of cocaine or heroin, with the intent of trafficking the drugs in Canada. Could an investigation be conducted to proceed with arrests in Canada? Are you currently able to provide those types of services? Do you have the resources you need for that?
