All right.
Mr. Killam, the Library of Parliament gave us briefing notes before this meeting. In them we can read what follows:
An RCMP analysis found that there were more than 60 airport employees with criminal links at Canada's largest airports, and many organized crime groups were found working within or using these airports.
I was completely stunned to read this. Is this accurate?
My colleague, who collects all the paper she can find, has an article from the Canadian Press dated September 25, 2006. It talks about a report that was prepared by Mr. Jean-Pierre Fortin, of the Customs and Immigration Union, in which he says that the Customs Officers Union is worried about airport security, because customs officers are being pressured by unknown persons to not visit certain planes and not carry out certain inspections. This even led to Mr. Cannon demanding an investigation. A few months later, Mr. Cannon said that all the investigations had revealed that Montreal airports were perfectly safe.
There's a lot of contradictory information. I get the impression that the situation in our ports and airports is the same. You are not reassuring us; you have not demonstrated that organized crime has not infiltrated these places. What are your thoughts on this?
