I want to ask a question. In the absence of the minister, I guess it will go to the deputy minister.
I asked the minister previously about the question of armoured cars and what's happening with armoured cars in this country. We have about four companies that have bought up most of the armoured cars, and they are in the process of reducing crews on those armoured cars from three to two. It's caused a safety problem. We've now had a shootout in public in Longueuil and we've had a shootout in Toronto.
The minister's answer to me in question period was that it's not a federal jurisdiction. I guess my question is about that to me there seem to be several ways in which it is a federal jurisdiction. One, of course, is that it's part of the banking and finance industry. Second, federal government firearms licences are issued to people operating armoured cars. In the past, there have been Canadian labour relations board decisions dealing with armoured cars. Finally, of course, there is public safety. If we end up with organized crime identifying armoured cars as easy targets, we're going to have a public safety problem.
Do the deputy minister and the government see a role for the federal government in making sure that the reductions in crews and staffing that have been happening in armoured cars do not become a public safety problem and also an occupational problem for those working in industry?
