As we understand it, the CBSA verifies 100% of the containers it receives information on. In other words, when it has information that illegal goods could be in a certain container, it checks it. However, there is no systematic check of a certain number of containers leaving the country, or at least that was the case until very recently. That's a problem. That's not a criticism of CBSA; it's just that they do their business that way, based on certain priorities.
We believe that mandating a number of systematic inspections of containers leaving the country and giving the CBSA the ability to carry out this mandate would be a significant step forward in addressing not only car theft, but also illegal product trafficking as a whole.
