Well, in the case of the CBSA specifically, this bill will create a commission that will have the mandate for external independent review through stand-alone legislation. This is a first for the CBSA, as I pointed out in my introductory remarks.
It will enable civilians, who will be able to develop expertise in the area of understanding the professional conduct and systemic issues that may be implicated with the CBSA and the RCMP, to look into complaints, to make recommendations and to do so in a way that is timely, to take a look at various categories of information, including race-based data, and to provide concrete recommendations going forward.
This is new territory for the CBSA. There currently is no mechanism that lies beyond the CBSA, and that is a gap. It is a gap that has existed for far too long, in my opinion. That's why it is urgent that we pass this bill into law as quickly as we possibly can.
