I fully agree, and I would like to add something in that regard. There is no doubt that the biggest problem now is on the U.S. side. If the situation were reversed and Americans felt that their security was threatened… We know the kind of connections the RCMP has been able to make—namely, who is being financed through this type of crime.
I fully support that position. However, the major criticism I would make relates to the silo approach taken by the RCMP and the government, as though there were only one solution—one which focuses on security. But, as you just mentioned, we need to engage the entire population, because this is a scourge that affects our behaviour, our mores, our way of life and young people.
We have to engage Canadians on this issue. Security or coercion are not the only methods. We need to talk to the Aboriginal people, and discuss the issue broadly.
