Public Safety committee  We have a fairly robust training program for all new recruits. Training is delivered at our national college in Rigaud. Yes, if Bill C-21 receives royal assent, we will make sure that whatever impacts the reality of our border services officers, they're made aware of, but we do

Public Safety committee  No. There have been no complaints. One of the recommendations of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada was to put up signs at the land border to inform travellers that information will be shared.

Public Safety committee  Travellers must be informed, but that information is already provided on entry in the declaration card—form E311.

Public Safety committee  At the agency, the Recourse Directorate receives those types of complaints. I think that other departments have a similar organization or directorate for those kinds of incidents. Perhaps you could put the question to my colleagues from the agency.

Public Safety committee  The amendments to legislation proposed in Bill C-21 will apply to people and goods.

Public Safety committee  At this time, the agency can only intervene in the case of controlled goods. If the shipper does not have the required permit for goods they are exporting, the agency will intervene. We will also intervene if we believe that goods are regulated by our colleagues from Global Affai

Public Safety committee  As the minister explained in his opening remarks, that exchange will be done systematically. Airlines will send the agency flight manifests with a list of all passengers.
