Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Thank you and welcome, ladies and gentlemen. It is always a pleasure to have you here because you provide us with insight that is very interesting and, above all, very useful.
As I understand it, this is a bill that reflects our developing relationship with the United States, especially in terms of the work we do with them.
Let me start with Mr. Therrien.
One of the fears Canadians have is about the exchange of information obtained at customs. You specifically talked about federal legislation and programs like old-age security and employment insurance. As you understand it, what are the limits on this information exchange, especially with regard to the provinces? How are you placed to assess the guarantee we are looking for, that is, to limit the exchange of information and prevent information being exchanged all over the place?
