Mr. Chair, I'm going to go back to some terms of the budget for CATSA, to a question I put to the minister, which he didn't answer.
I'd like to get a better understanding about the state of understanding in the department and the government today, particularly in your department, with respect to Senator Kenny's report and the numerous times he has raised this with you, raised it with governments, raised it with the public. I've had four, five, six conversations with presidents and CEOs of airport authorities across the country who tell me that this is a problem waiting to happen, that we have parcels, we have shipments, deliveries, in the holds of passenger airplanes, and that there is shrink-wrapped technology right now off the shelf to purchase, $2 million to $3 million scanners for our top five or six airports.
Can you please give me an indication of what you're doing about this? How long have you been seized of this issue? How much money is being allocated this year and potentially next year, or perhaps in the supplementary estimates, to deal with this issue?
Most Canadians understand that this is a problem. Can someone please help me understand so I can tell my travelling constituents and the public in my riding and the airport in my riding what's going on here?
