Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I appreciate the fact that Mr. Strahl is proposing a motion to examine the problem of vehicle thefts and the lack of effort and inspections by the Canada Border Services Agency to address the issue. We are all concerned about that.
It's no coincidence that the Standing Committee on Public Safety and National Security has undertaken a study to bring to light what isn't being done or, at least, what needs to be done to remedy the situation.
Everyone is concerned by the growing number of vehicles being stolen and the realization that the agency seems to have a certain tolerance or laissez-faire attitude towards the issue. The agency seems to be throwing up its hands because it doesn't think it can do anything. We can't accept that attitude. If we want to make clear that we condemn what's going on, I'm perfectly okay with moving forward on this.
However, it feels as though we may be duplicating the work that the Standing Committee on Public Safety and National Security is going to do. It has a mandate to get to the bottom of the issue. I think we should let the committee do its work properly, and we should focus on the work we have to do, as per our agenda.
I was hoping that we would make progress on our report on the relationship between McKinsey and the Canada Infrastructure Bank. I'm still hopeful that we can do it today, so I urge my fellow committee members to deal with this as quickly as possible.
Thank you.
