You said you were willing to provide documentation. You know how this works, Mr. Mayers: you send it to the clerk and the clerk will get it to us. I appreciate that.
Getting back to the issue of how much we inspect at the border, I have two conflicting statements. I believe, Mr. Mayers, you said when you were here a couple of weeks ago that we inspected exactly the same amount going out as we do coming in. Yet I'm hearing that we actually inspect only 2% of imports at the border, and that we don't have CFIA on a full-time basis at the border.
I should maybe declare a conflict here. My daughter was a CBSA employee for a number of years. She worked in the commercial sections on the Lewiston Bridge. I asked her if she remembered working with a CFIA inspector, and she said no.
Do we have CFIA inspectors there on a full-time basis, or is it CBSA? Is 2% representative of the things we inspect at the border, or is there a different number?
