Thank you, Mr. Chair.
My question is for all the witnesses.
I appreciate the numbers you shared from the Équité Association report. That is a drastic change since last year, since 2024.
In the numbers that you gave, you mentioned that Ontario had an almost 26% decrease. This is thanks to the civilian and uniformed members of law enforcement and also thanks to the Halton Regional Police Service, which is headquartered in my riding. Their Project Credit investigation revealed a sophisticated auto theft network operating in the GTA that included chop shops and revinning the vehicles. Those domestic chop shops are now expanding to ship parts internationally.
The Équité Association report also notes the RCMP's role in providing stolen vehicle data to Interpol as a key part of the successful strategy.
With criminals now targeting provinces like Alberta for international export and even expanding domestic chop shops to ship parts internationally, how is the enhanced data sharing with international partners like Interpol empowering the RCMP to disrupt these evolving global criminal networks at their source and at their destination points?
