Thank you for your question.
As I indicated, it's important to allocate financial resources based on needs. I mentioned that nearly 20 agencies are involved in the fight against terrorism. As you saw this afternoon, the RCMP is working hard to combat terrorism. Resources are allocated based on needs. The Canada Border Services Agency plays an important role, and the agency needs to have access to tools. We invest heavily, in particular in the information exchange system.
Financial resources are important, but legislative tools and resources are just as important. As parliamentarians, one way in which we can help the Canada Border Services Agency combat terrorism is to develop tools to help Canada exchange information with its partners when Canadians travel.
I want to come back to the example I gave earlier. We are talking about information that is found in our passport, as well as the time and date we leave the country. This is unremarkable information, but in cases in which foreign terrorists want to travel through a third country—for example travelling through Turkey to get to Syria—this information becomes strategic. This information can provide context and and provide better ways to track terrorists.
With respect to the Canada Border Services Agency, we are talking about reallocating resources in several other agencies and about the fact that it's important for us, as parliamentarians, to give the agency means to help combat terrorism through the exchange of information.
