Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I think it's important to recognize that the 300,000 travellers the Auditor General has reported do not represent actual travellers. It's based on probability sampling. They looked at a very small subset of 38 cases and from that extrapolated that up to 300,000 vehicles had not been properly entered into the system.
I want to assure the committee that despite the fact that a licence plate reader might have captured the vehicle, but a passport was not swiped in the system properly, it does not mean that an officer did not provide an examination of each and every person crossing the border.
I would say that there's a hypothesis here. I find it very interesting, and we're going to follow up on it. Obviously our policy is that everything is done completely, and we will be following up on these things.
