Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I apologize to the witnesses and my colleagues for my tardiness. I have no one else I can substitute for me here, so that's a reality I have to deal with.
I would like to ask a question about the border; it goes to both the Canadian Bar Association and the National Council of Canadian Muslims.
Obviously, this subject is very much in the news these days. In general, do you have concerns with the expansion of powers at the border or with the border becoming more integrated, as was mentioned this week? How should we proceed in this situation, particularly in terms of bills C-21 and C-23?
