Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I want to respond to Mr. McKinnon's earlier comment that this special committee is going to be examining many of the questions this committee would also be interested in coming to a better understanding about. We are the masters of our own committee and the work we do. I don't think that we don't do that work because someone else might do it for us.
This is very important for all Canadians. The number of emails and correspondence I'm getting from people in my constituency suggests to me that this is a very important issue that Canadians want answers about. We want to know how the RCMP is conducting its operations and what the CBSA has done, and what it could have done, to prevent some of these issues from happening. There's also the OPP. It's very incumbent upon us to ask these questions to come to a better understanding. That's exactly what this committee is for, and I think it is the work we should be doing.
