Thank you very much.
Thank you, witnesses, for coming today.
I have a few questions based on some previous witnesses. I won't go into their philosophic views on law enforcement and the legalization of drugs and things like that. I'm of the assumption that, having been a police officer, we share the same view on that. However, feel free to interject and correct me if I'm wrong.
The legalization of marijuana and every single drug on the list, which is what one of the witnesses said, is not on our dinner plate. That said, though, one of the witnesses, Mr. Antonio Nicaso, who has studied organized crime both in Canada and internationally—specifically Italy—was of the opinion that we are not serious about investigating organized crime, because we have so few resources spent on it.
Without going into the numbers of personnel or the exact amount of money, or things like that, I'd just like to have your collective opinion on, first, whether you feel that we are serious enough about organized crime. We never have enough resources—no one in government ever has enough resources—but do you see within your purview an ability to readjust funding so that we are serious about organized crime?
That would be the first question. I'd like just a short response, without the numbers of personnel but at least the percentage of your budget, or a rough estimate, and then I'll go on with a couple of other questions.
Perhaps we can begin with CBSA.
