I don't know what we're going to do about the lack of meeting time for all these things we'd like to study. I agree with our top two priorities, but I think a number of factors are converging around this incident at the Vancouver airport. They include two government agencies that this minister--who we try to help--and this committee are responsible for, and they are the RCMP and the Border Services Agency. Those are the two major federal presences that were there at the time of that incident. If we're not responsible for them, I don't know what we are responsible for.
Secondly, because this is called the public safety committee, it raises the whole issue of the appropriate use of force on our own citizens or on visitors to our country.
I don't think some of the other issues are being raised in the international press and affecting Canada's international reputation. That's why we need to demonstrate that we are concerned about this and want to get some answers, as the committee of public safety. We know that international repercussions are happening, and looking to the future with the Olympics and people coming here, we have to get what went on at that airport straightened out.
It isn't completely our responsibility, but the minister is going to need views on that, other than the view of the agency investigating itself and the RCMP investigating itself. So our view might be very helpful to him.
