Thank you for your question, Mr. Rousseau.
My answer has two parts.
First off, I'd say that the $24.1 million, which was described accurately by you as program integrity, was really designed to focus on three or four areas.
One was a peak period strategy, which was to provide additional funding, particularly at the land border, when we know that traffic is very high. Canadians were experiencing undue wait times. To manage wait times, $5.5 million has been invested to help address and provide an appropriate level of both security and public service.
Other elements were to support the government's decision to end the situation where we had officers working alone. We call it the doubling-up initiative.
Those are a couple of the elements of the kinds of things we're doing.
In terms of your second question around remote control, we're working in part with the United States as part of the beyond the border action plan always on how we can use technology to facilitate, expand, and improve service. There are commitments under the beyond the border action plan to look at a couple of pilots in which we would use technology to allow ports to operate for expanded hours and that kind of thing.
The sense of “remotely” implies no human contact, strictly distance only. It would have to be a combined approach. We do know that the U.S. has used remote capacity at ports of entry with very low traffic and that's certainly part of the scope of issues that we'll be looking at.
