Thanks for that.
Carrying on with the same theme, Bill C-26 authorizes disclosure to the CBSA of information from the sex offender database. Among other things, the CBSA will be authorized to provide to the database the following information regarding the sex offender who is the subject of disclosure: the date of their departure from Canada, the date they returned to Canada, and every address or location at which they stayed outside of Canada. This provision will enable the CBSA to flag high-risk offenders in its surveillance system and to help police ensure respect for traveller identification requirements.
Can you please describe how the system currently works as it pertains to sharing of information between the national sex offender registry and the CBSA? Can you use an example of how changes in this bill will help keep Canadians safe?
