Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Mr. Weber, I want to come back to the responsibility of ports, particularly the Port of Montreal, as well as the responsibility of customs officers. We hear that the ports have their own security officers on their territory, but that they can't open the sealed containers. The police do not patrol the ports, but they can open the containers when they have a warrant and therefore have a serious reason to believe that they may contain a stolen item, for example.
The co-operation between all these people seems a little difficult. There may be a lack of communication. I don't know how that co-operation or information sharing could be improved. Do you have any comments on that?
I'm also wondering about the customs procedure. Should it be changed? As you mentioned a little earlier, we pay more attention to what enters the country than to what leaves it. That seems quite normal to me, but CBSA is responsible for transit across the country. Should that be changed?
You may say that you don't have the necessary resources, but let's suppose that we live in an ideal world and that we have all the officers we need to do the job. Should we change the mandate of CBSA slightly to pay particular attention to the scourge of car theft, or do we not want to go down that road? What do you think?
