Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I have just a bit of commentary on this because it's really important that this is on the record.
This scanning technology, which is generally referred to as multi-energy portal technology, is absolutely critical for scanning containers and commercial vehicles. By deploying this at the Peace Bridge the first time on Canadian soil.... Mr. Boyle, when you dive into this technology, what is your opinion on this? I consider that this technology needs to be deployed in every seaport, including the ports of Montreal, Vancouver and Halifax.
Every export port in Canada needs to have this technology because it instantaneously can determine, for example, whether there are stolen vehicles in containers that are going into European or other export markets. We've heard, for example, that fewer than 10% of all the containers in the Port of Montreal are actually inspected. This takes the HR out of it. Although it doesn't necessarily affect jobs, it instantaneously provides 100% accurate data on what's in that container.
Mr. Boyle, do you think that would have an enormous impact in other areas, in other export ports in Canada?
