I attended a meeting. They have a draft report. They are about to report on this very thing.
Yes, they have had witnesses from the department. If you're wondering why they looked at it, it was, I think, the import and export of these pirated products that was at issue, and CBSA is under that committee.
I appreciate the desire of members to do a good job as MPs, to deal with public issues, but when you're the third committee on the Hill entering into the issue, there's going to be some duplication.
I think we should wait. I'm not saying don't do it. I think we should wait for the public safety committee to report. Take a look at the report and see if it's covered it off nicely.
Lastly, we should not assume that the solution to this problem is an amendment to the Criminal Code. We have other federal statutes that may be brought into play here, dealing with copyright, trademark. We have our CRA, the border enforcement thing. There are a whole lot of different possibilities here that can be brought into play as a solution, and it won't just be a Criminal Code solution. If it's not a Criminal Code solution, this committee, for the time being, doesn't have to do it.
So I think we should look before we leap. No disrespect to Monsieur Ménard and his caucus, but I think we should just check out the lay of the land first before we move and start doing another piece of work. The last time I looked we still had some criminal legislation in the pipeline.
Thank you.
