I'm pleased that you've taken that measure to follow up on this question, and it may perhaps be assessed in your future annual reports.
I'd like to talk to the RCMP and to you about our border towns and what we can anticipate for the future.
I understand all the problems that you can have, but the population has been living in border towns for more than 100 years. In Stanstead, for example, the border runs right through the municipal library. In Beebe—that's the name of the town—where I ride my bike, the main street is located on the border, so that, when you head west, you're in Canada, and when you go east, you're in the United States.
Today, the main border control tool is information accumulation and surveillance. I understand why you focus so much effort on that activity.
However, isn't there some way of reconciling that activity with the day-to-day lives of these inhabitants? What future do you see for them? Currently, a number of incidents have been reported to us. For example, some individuals went to buy gasoline on the U.S. side and had to pay incredible fines. Others took the wrong road and, when they returned, authorities wanted them to pay a certain amount of money.
How do you foresee patrols in these border towns?
