I agree with Minister Goodale that it's better for these things to take place on Canadian soil. I don't see the option for most travellers as being between doing it on Canadian soil and doing it on American soil, because pre-clearance exists in much of the country already. I think where the issue comes in for us is what this actually means in terms of someone's remedy or accountability under Canadian law.
Last day, if you can cast your mind back, we addressed some of the issues about how the bill simultaneously exempts Canada from liability for the actions of these agents, while exempting the United States from most liability too. Even aside from that, there's no accountability mechanism proposed. There's no recourse mechanism built in.
Talking of business travellers, the Canadian Bar Association points out that there's no real redress mechanism in the bill for NEXUS travellers who have their cards revoked in pre-clearance. There are lots of things that can be done to improve this bill. Certainly, we want this happening on Canadian soil, but we don't want Canadians to be stymied—or Americans or others—when something goes wrong, as it inevitably does, and there is nowhere for them to complain. That is our real concern about this.
