Thank you for the question. It is an interesting question actually, and it's one that we've discussed and thought about quite a bit. To start off with, when you look at integrated cross-border maritime law enforcement, it does work as a multiplier effect of sorts in terms of your resources at the border, in terms of increasing your coordination among law enforcement at the border. In general, what that does is it allows you to address cross-border criminality at the border more effectively than you were doing before. By doing that, in effect you are asserting your sovereignty, by dealing with threats and addressing issues of cross-border criminality at your border, protecting Canadians and protecting Canadian communities. So in that way, as a model it is quite effective.
The bill itself does take certain precautions to ensure and safeguard Canadian sovereignty, including enshrining in the legislation the fact that if you have a U.S. law enforcement officer working in Canada, that law enforcement officer would be working under the control of a Canadian law enforcement officer, that is, under the host country, with the laws of Canada being enforced and the rules and procedures and policies of Canadian law enforcement being followed. That in itself is a way of ensuring or asserting sovereignty by maximizing those resources.
I'll turn it to Michael.
