In Amsterdam, an undercover police officer who infiltrated criminal gangs told us that he spent months preparing a major operation to arrest the leaders and seize huge quantities of drugs, but the impact lasted just two hours. That's shocking and astounding, to say the least, because law enforcement isn't on a level playing field. Criminal groups have much greater resources than law enforcement does.
Are we doing enough, then? We're already doing so much more. Money laundering and arrivals at major ports, be it Vancouver, Halifax or Montreal, need to be tackled. We need to do what has to be done, but with the full knowledge that it's not a level playing field right now.
