Mr. Speaker, in fact the safety of Canadians and the safety of customs officers is a number one and top priority for CCRA.
The facts are as follows. There has been no policy change, but in the years from 1995 to 2001, there were 11 cases of assault reported, 11 cases at a time when over 600 million people entered Canada and were welcomed and inspected by customs officers.
The report that the critic refers to is in anticipation of a job hazard review, which is underway. I want to reiterate that the safety of Canadians and the safety of customs officers is our priority.
