Thanks, Mr. Chair.
Thanks to our witnesses. We really appreciate your testimony.
I'd like to start with you, Ms. O'Brien.
I would like to know two things. First, the CBSA cuts that we saw under the former Harper government really haven't been restored under the current government. To what extent do you believe that has had an impact on our ability to cut the export of stolen cars? The estimates range as high as 80%, as I know you're aware. To what extent have those cutbacks helped to trigger, in a sense, this increase in crime syndicates using auto theft as a way of making money?
Second, I'm interested in the work of the analysts. When the analysts determine that there are suspected exports of stolen vehicles, who do they contact first? Do they contact CBSA? Do they contact the Montreal police? How is that information shared? What has been the response time for those concerns being raised by the analysts at CBSA and the police?
