Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
This has been fascinating. Thank you. It's been a very impressive panel. I think you bring a lot to it, as you have in the past.
I'm thinking that there seems to be a broad sort of agreement on the intent of what needs to be done here.
I was following Mr. Masse's question with regard to the 2007 report and the recommendations that flowed from it before it got to be, in Mr. de Beer's view, just more banal rhetoric.
I guess I'm looking to places where we can take some action.
I only have five minutes, so rather than broadly going into what action needs to be taken now, I'd like to pursue recommendation 11 from that report. More specifically, I'll ask Mr. Henderson how you think allowing CBSA to have ex-officio powers would benefit Canadian businesses and consumers.
