Thank you, Mr. Chair.
When we look at the concept of trying to manage risks, I would assume that when we recognize the trade problems, the economic arrangements that we have with the United States, and their concerns with terrorism and so forth, our major concern really has to be the North American continent and which dangerous people would come to Canada or what dangerous goods would be delivered here. We have to protect ourselves so we'll not be seen as a conduit to attacking our neighbour to the south. I would think the Americans would be watching that very closely.
With the various agencies you work with internationally—and you talk about the systems you have—I would think that you would have a highly automated system to hear from other countries, and if a ship or a plane were leaving a certain destination for Canada, your people would get advance warning of a possible problem. Are you satisfied that within your budget and with the equipment you have and the software available to you, you have an adequate program that gives you fast information to be able to deal with possible problems before they actually arrive, or when they do arrive, in Canada?
