Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Security comes first, but there is also the fact that, if a traveller is required to undergo this kind of search and it clears up confusion and enables the traveller to take his or her trip, we will have done our duty and our job of ensuring security without denying access to individuals travelling abroad.
I think this is entirely appropriate. We Canadians and Americans share the same concerns regarding the security of our borders. The objective is for our two countries to cooperate and work together in the same frame of mind.
I therefore oppose the amendment.
