There is a strong connection.
We just recently finished our long auto study, and we heard time and time again that stolen vehicles in Canada are being exported through our ports and used to finance terrorist organizations around the world. They're being used to finance the purchase of firearms smuggled into our country. This is a very serious issue.
Clearly, our ports are the weak point. Does the CBSA have any recommendations for things we can adopt to strengthen our ports so that we can not only protect Canadians from the drug trade, but give our American and other trading allies and partners assurances that Canada's taking the necessary actions to protect them?
