Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Mr. Bergeron, you said earlier that you were willing to consider different solutions. For example, your officers could perhaps have more latitude to open containers or conduct inspections as they see fit.
When I listen to you, I understand that are other authorities are involved. You often say that you do not have access to the information, whereas customs officers do, and that it is incumbent upon the police to take action. Do you feel like you are just a bystander? Would you rather have more responsibilities and be a player in the fight against organized crime?
I know that you already work with partners, but do you feel that it could be beneficial if the port authority had more responsibilities, or do you prefer to leave that to the police or the Canada Border Services Agency? How do you feel about that?
