Madam Speaker, the member raises an important issue.
If one is going to provide the powers to the Canada Border Services Agency, it is equally important that the government provide both the financial and human resources to do what is required.
In the case of auto theft, this bill will allow the Canada Border Services Agency officers to investigate, identify, detain imported vehicles or vehicles about to be exported, and to search databases to determine whether or not said vehicles are indeed stolen.
It is important that the databases be maintained and kept up to date, and that there be the important resources available to do what is required in this instance.
