Certainly. We have a number of different initiatives where we work very closely with our American counterparts. I guess probably front and centre to the issues we're discussing here today would be the integrated border enforcement teams, which in fact are composed of five core agencies, two of which are Canadian--the Canada Border Services Agency as well as the RCMP. The other three American agencies are the U.S. Coast Guard, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, and the U.S. border patrol.
Now, those teams also involve numerous other agencies, and depending on the area where the units are, they engage local enforcement agencies. So whether it's a municipal police force, whether it's state police, those units are actually involved. They were involved, I believe, in the case you were referring to. They played a significant role.
As with any case, whether we're dealing with another agency domestically or with an agency internationally, there are always issues that surface in terms of roles and responsibilities within the context of the investigation. I guess this is the message that I would like to leave with the committee here. The days of law enforcement agencies fighting for their turf, much as what we're seeing in the lower mainland with the criminal organizations, have gone by. The law enforcement community in Canada and internationally is actually working very closely to better coordinate their efforts and to share the information.
