Accountability regimes must have the following characteristics: they must be independent and they must have a civilian component. That means that the screening should not be done only by agency employees. Those civilian parties must have the authority to carry out screening. They must be able to conduct investigations not only in response to complaints, but also on their own initiative, to ensure that the policies are complied with and that the law is being respected.
There is a regime for information services, as well as an improving regime for the RCMP. We are simply asking that an equivalent regime be established for the Canada Border Services Agency, as that body has very significant powers.
