Just to reiterate what Mr. Lunney said earlier, coming also from British Columbia I think there are a number of issues, not just the one he mentioned, which was the possibility of someone entering from the coast to do harm to people. Another use for surveillance is for the whole issue of people trafficking and also for the huge problem in Canada, and particularly in British Columbia, of drug smuggling. So to hear that surveillance is being cut back is a real concern to people in my province, for sure, which has one of the longer coastlines.
