Recently, we heard at this committee, as you very well know, from the CBSA. They're looking for 30,000 people in the country and can't find them. We heard from the president of the union of CBSA employees that staff are completely demoralized because they're not given the tools to do proper background checks.
Regarding your one-touch system—a first meeting with a person wanting to come to Canada where they take a biometric of the eye, fingerprints and so forth—once they have that initial meeting, they're given a questionnaire to take home. Then they have 45 days to complete it before they give it back.
Do you think it is proper to allow people into the country before the entire screening process has ascertained their criminality or whether they have the right to be in Canada? If they have a criminal record, they shouldn't be here and shouldn't have 45 days to complete the questionnaire.
