Acting Assistant Deputy Minister, Portfolio Affairs and Communications Branch, Department of Public Safety and Emergency Preparedness

Jill Wherrett

As for the specific figure that Minister Goodale mentioned, we had asked our colleagues at U.S. Customs and Border Protection and CBSA to look at their statistics for the last year, and there were no cases in the past year where U.S. Customs and Border Protection had asked CBSA to undertake a strip search. Of course, the only possible venue right now is for CBSA to undertake the search.
