I have one final question. I might then give Mr. Picard some speaking time since it is his birthday.

My question pertains to the Canada Border Services Agency. There is a debate going on right now that you are certainly aware of. There is always some tension between police authority and the territory a certain number of kilometres around customs areas. There have been some incidents, in Windsor in particular. As I recall, someone died following a police chase.

One of the questions raised in the debate of Bill C-59 is the review or surveillance of the Canada Border Services Agency.

Does your mandate include the work the CBSA does in co-operation with the RCMP or is it once again a question of following the trail, national security issues, and information sharing?
