Yes, I am aware of that legislation, Minister. But we certainly believe in today's world of more telecommunication, where emails and traffic by text, etc., is a part of everyone's daily life.... We are now concerned, and the legislation needs to be improved. We're concerned, and Canadians are concerned. They believe agencies of the Government of Canada are basically using that, maybe it's even a hole, in the legislation to spy on Canadians.
I would make one other point. On the discussion we had on CSC, we do have to take into consideration what the Correctional Service investigator said. It's here in writing and it's in his annual report. I'm outlining it to you as a concern. I'm also told that currently a number of kitchens are being closed within the prison system to save money. Food is being brought in, and that's one of the skills being used to train inmates that will be lost.
Anyway, here's my last question. On two occasions, I raised questions in the House on an internal memo by the Canada Border Services Agency, by the director general, border programs. It was circulated to all regional directors. It stated:
Given the significant role the CBSA plays in the [Government of Canada] export community and the limited number of resources available for export examinations; other commodities, including outbound smuggling of narcotics, unless there is an intelligence lookout, should not be undertaken.
That seems to me to be an invitation that narcotics are not going to be looked at unless specifically requested.
