There are two essential aspects of the legislation that deal with the Olympics. Let us go back to the security clearances. As I said, that will not be in place for the Olympics, but that does not mean that the RCMP will not require them, or will not search people and vehicles, the trucks and the people going into strategic Olympic venues. The RCMP is responsible for security at the Olympic Games.
For our part, we need two things in order to tackle the Olympics. First, the orders, the security measures; these are the tools that we have in other acts such as the Transportation Act, the Maritime Transportation Security Act or the Aeronautics Act that you have examined in detail. These measures can be put in place if the threat level increases at any given location. For example, if the threat increases in a given airport, we can tighten security by implementing a security measure. Possibly, instead of checking a certain percentage of passengers making their way to a plane, we would check more, two or three times more. We have no regulations for dangerous goods at the moment, no legislation that allows us to put security measures in place if a threat requires it. We have absolutely nothing except sending in the RCMP. This bill would allow us to adopt various security measures as the result of various departmental orders. As I mentioned earlier, we could stop the transportation of dangerous goods on the highway to Whistler, we could stop the transportation of dangerous goods within a certain radius of the Olympic stadium or of other Olympic facilities in Vancouver. There are measures that we can take, and, at that point, all the designated inspectors or the police could stop people from going into those places.
