I'm interested in getting Mr. MacKillop's opinion. Perhaps you can respond as a civilian representing another agency.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but what strikes me is that under pressure from the Americans, who have become absolutely paranoid about wanting a tightly sealed border, we have been forced to establish new procedures. For example, Canada, and Quebec in particular, is home to a number of border towns in which homes are built right on the border. People have lived this way for many years. We have the impression that the Americans are the ones who have forced us to devote this level of energy and these resources to border security. As a result, there is less energy and fewer resources devoted to intelligence gathering and to increased surveillance of criminal organizations.
