Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Thank you to all of our witnesses today.
Dr. German, you made a number of comments today that I want to hone in on.
One, you used the example of those who go through airports, which members of Parliament are all too familiar with. We have checks and scans. We all get checked. I have to think that organized crime in Canada is laughing to see all of us go through those checks when they look at the porousness of our ports and the fact that the vast majority of shipping containers are not being checked at all when they leave the port in Montreal, or any other port in Canada.
Can you comment a bit more on what needs to happen at our ports and the current state of affairs? You mentioned port police. There used to be dedicated enforcement at the ports. This has long since not been the case. What else would be helpful when it comes to our ports and the security of our country?
