I think every day the people of CBSA are doing outstanding work.
I'm very concerned about the public nature of this investigation. I ask myself whether anything could have been done.
It was duly provided to the professional standards people, who have undertaken an investigation. I've assured myself that the process is consistent with any investigations they would undertake in the CBSA; I need the people of the agency to have confidence in these processes. That is my absolute preoccupation.
We have discussions about accountability, about values and ethics. The people of the CBSA are doing excellent work, and it's an organization of accountability. People in the CBSA—frontline officers—take decisions every day, and they have those decisions tested in court. It's an organization that understands accountability.
I'm trying to get to the bottom of what happened. I'm impatient to do so, and I regret that the people involved have to have the added stress of the public aspect of this. I look forward to a final investigation and, as I've said, I will take any additional actions that support any of the findings of that.
