Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I understand why the Americans are entitled to make their own decisions under this program. Without questioning those decisions, if the preclearance is done on Canadian soil, I think the Canada Border Services Agency should at least have the power to review the situation. I find that entirely appropriate in light of certain stories that have come to light, particularly in the news. If we see that an irregularity has been committed at a particular place-for example, if cards are being seized more frequently there than elsewhere-that could be included in a review of the preclearance system.
We might ask that question if, for example, we saw that cards were constantly being cancelled at an airport in particular. That would call for some thinking to determine whether profiling was taking place there or if there were other problems.
Without questioning the Americans' right to make those decisions, I nevertheless think it is important to have at least a power of review.
Consequently, I will support Ms. May's amendment.
