First, Police Chief Swamp, thank you very much for your presentation. It was very interesting. I'm really impressed by the heavy load you have to carry.
I will ask you three questions all at once because I know that time is running out quickly.
First, Akwesasne has sometimes been identified as a smuggling corridor for organized crime, human trafficking and things like that. I would like you to respond to that claim. This is a serious matter in your area.
My second question is about the duties you carry. Do you agree that your police force often has to shoulder the responsibilities of the CBSA or RCMP without proper support and other kinds of facilities?
Third, you mentioned that co-operation and coordination are very important. I agree with that, but what is the situation right now for the RCMP, CBSA and U.S. border police in terms of co-operation and collaboration? Is the division of labour or the jurisdictions' distinctions sometimes a barrier to this kind of collaboration?
I hope you can answer all three questions at once.
