Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Witnesses, you're saying there are 100 factors used to assess each boat's risks and determine what to do with the boat. We know that abandoned boats have been used for criminal activity, and what that implies for examining the 100 factors involved if a dangerous good or illegal substance was on board.
Do you think simpler, more suitable criteria and working in phases would increase productivity or efficiency? What if a dozen assessment criteria were used to detect whether a boat carries illegal substances, but another 10 for the boat's environmental risk? Determining the consequences of abandoning each boat could be based on priority.
