Mr. Speaker, first, the coast guard is looking at all the opportunities to improve security. This is very important.
I want to remind the hon. member that it is not just the coast guard. It is the military and all the departments that work together to make sure we have security along our border.
With regard to the personnel matter, it would be inappropriate to talk about an individual personnel matter. He knows very well that the person was brought to the committee so he could put forward his views on the coast guard, both here in Ottawa but also when the committee was in British Columbia. We will look at the report of the committee that comes forward.
Security is important and we are looking at all the ways we can deal with security issues.
