Mr. Speaker, all of these issues of course are issues that we face every day when it comes to the whole issue of passports. Some of the changes that are coming about in the next little while will put increased pressure on that whole division.
In budget 2005 there is a commitment of $433 million to go to border security, so that the resources are there that are needed to ensure that Canadians can travel feeling safe and comfortable at their borders.
We should remember as well that we have a good relationship with the U.S. The Minister of Public Security and Emergency Preparedness is working very closely with the U.S. to ensure that we have border security on both sides in a partnership, so that we can continue to ensure that Canada is safe and the U.S. border is safe as well.
