Citizenship and Immigration committee  Certainly.

Public Safety committee  The same. Yes. We're looking at incremental costs and tracking those incremental costs.

Public Safety committee  The Criminal Code would apply to someone crossing with child pornography, and we would look at the policing jurisdiction to investigate such an occurrence. Those occurrences have been very low.

Public Safety committee  The Criminal Code would apply, so yes, there are.

Public Safety committee  Everything that we would look at falls under the Criminal Code. Possession of child pornography would fall under the Criminal Code so we would process that as we would anyone else in Canada in possession of child pornography, or any other contraband, or anything that would fall under the Criminal Code itself.

Public Safety committee  Certainly.

Citizenship and Immigration committee  In terms of the RCMP's role when people are crossing between borders, as I mentioned, our responsibility is to assess to make sure of their background. We're looking for any links to possible terrorism, bringing in contraband, or anything in terms of illegal activity. That's our role in terms of assessing the people.

Citizenship and Immigration committee  No. We have put in a special process. We have a satellite detachment in close proximity to CBSA that facilitates our joint partnership. We also have a temporary processing centre, of sorts, at Roxham Road, which is where the majority of people are crossing at this time. We have set up special facilities there in order to accommodate the people coming through and our employees who are working there so that they're working in a safe environment.

Citizenship and Immigration committee  It's exceptionally low in terms of what we have seen for criminality. Any sort of criminality we find that requires further investigation we pass on to the police of jurisdiction, depending on the province where the people are coming through. From there, they will be processed through the regular criminal process by the police of jurisdiction, and they would determine whether charges would be laid or further investigation would be warranted.

Citizenship and Immigration committee  In terms of someone crossing the border between the ports of entry, the RCMP would intercept the person or persons. We then advise them that they are breaking the law under the Customs Act by crossing the border between ports of entry. The persons are then detained. Their possessions are searched to ensure there is no contraband or other illegal items.

Citizenship and Immigration committee  In terms of investigations, and in terms of border security, we already use a lot of different techniques and deploy a lot of people to work on the border itself. A lot of those techniques are privileged information so I wouldn't be able to speak to them, obviously, for investigative and security reasons, but we do carry out security all along the border, whether on lakes or on land.
