Mr. Speaker, I have a question for my colleague.
He just said that Bill C-23 changes almost nothing in terms of the current situation, but what about the fact that the current law does not allow a U.S. customs officer to conduct a strip search without a Canadian officer of the same gender present? This has been changed, which is rather troubling, considering the eagerness of U.S. personnel. Earlier my colleague from Windsor said he was very familiar with borders. In fact, people from Detroit and Windsor spend much of their lives going through customs.
The fact that a strip search could be conducted from now on by a U.S. officer without a Canadian officer of the same gender present is a huge change.
