Mario Laframboise at the Transport, Infrastructure and Communities Committee

I absolutely agree Mr. Boivin. However, the problem is that the government spends hundreds of millions of dollars on the Canadian Air Transport Security Authority. I am having trouble understanding why those in charge never conceived of the possibility of searching luggage piece by piece. They are paid to plan for that.

You are telling me that there were never negotiations or discussions previously. Nobody ever told you that one day you might have to search luggage by hand. Nobody told you that or discussed that before December 25. Is that correct?
