Well, your question ties very nicely into the question from your colleague beforehand, and that is this question: How do we actually have the enforcement, now that we're giving the Coast Guard a greater security capability? The Coast Guard has, in fact, done exactly what you've called for, on the Great Lakes. We operate with the Americans. There is a good relationship on it. However, both you and your colleague hit the point, and that is this: Do we have enough capability to allow the Coast Guard to function on a day-to-day basis? You're absolutely right that the focus right now has been towards the north, but that doesn't take away from the fact that the Coast Guard is heavily involved on both the east and west coasts, but also on the Great Lakes, and, in fact, could deal with some of the issues that you are raising.
It comes down to these questions: Do they have the infrastructure and people, and are there enough RCMP to integrate with them? Presumably, this renewed focus, with Bill C-12, with the move to DND, will allow the Coast Guard to do it, but as part of that strategic overview, I'd say it is so important that we now consider what we're giving the Coast Guard the ability to do.
