Peter Julian at the Public Safety and National Security Committee

Thank you.

Thanks to all the witnesses. You've added a lot of important information.

I want to come back to the issue of manufacturers and what responsibilities they have.

We will be preparing a committee report and will be making a series of recommendations. I think one issue the government hasn't touched on as much as it should is that of manufacturers incorporating security measures into their design or updating that design, allowing car theft to be cut back.

Could each of you set forth—perhaps starting with you, Ms. O'Brien—some recommendations that we can take forward in terms of what manufacturers should be compelled to do in the Canadian market to help break down the increase we've seen in auto thefts?
