Mr. Speaker, the foreign service officer returning from overseas is treated just like any other Canadian when it comes to customs examination of their possessions. Any infractions that are found will be prosecuted or treated as appropriate, just as other Canadians are treated.
If the hon. member has any evidence of any particular individual or indeed any organization that is evading the law, I would appreciate that information. Until such time, to come into this House and insult a group of dedicated public servants who work for Canada overseas in our trade and diplomatic missions appears to me to be totally irresponsible and quite uncalled for.
