"en": "<p data-HoCid=\"4967279\" data-originallang=\"fr\">I would just like to add this.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4967280\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Under the current legislation-you are right-the Border Services Agency may conduct the search if it deems it necessary. However, the bill makes no provision concerning the other officer, the superior officer, the senior officer. It is unnecessary for the senior officer to consider whether the search is really necessary or not. That is not within his or her discretion.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4967281\" data-originallang=\"en\"> It's a question of whether the senior officer has the discretion to say, for instance, \u201cI've looked at the circumstance. The traveller has come to me.\u201d There must be some logic to the law that says the traveller can come to the senior officer, and the senior officer should be able to say, \u201cI don't think this is necessary. This is an invasive operation. Yes, you may be authorized, junior officer, but I don't think this strip search is necessary in order to conduct a pre-clearance.\u201d </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4967282\" data-originallang=\"en\">It doesn't continue to that stage. </p>",
"fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"4967279\" data-originallang=\"fr\">J'ajouterais seulement ceci.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4967280\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Dans la loi actuelle \u2014 vous avez raison \u2014 l'Agence des services frontaliers peut effectuer la fouille si elle pense qu'elle est n\u00e9cessaire. Toutefois, il ne s'y trouve rien concernant l'autre agent, le haut grad\u00e9, le sup\u00e9rieur. Il n'est aucunement n\u00e9cessaire pour l'agent sup\u00e9rieur de consid\u00e9rer si la fouille est vraiment n\u00e9cessaire, ou non. Ce n'est pas \u00e0 sa discr\u00e9tion.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4967281\" data-originallang=\"en\">La question est de savoir si le haut grad\u00e9 a, disons, le pouvoir discr\u00e9tionnaire de dire qu'il a examin\u00e9 les circonstances dans le cas du qui voyageur s'est pr\u00e9sent\u00e9 \u00e0 lui. Il doit exister un lien logique entre la loi qui dit que le voyageur peut se pr\u00e9senter \u00e0 un haut grad\u00e9 et le fait que ce dernier doit pouvoir d\u00e9clarer qu'il ne juge pas la fouille \u00e0 nu n\u00e9cessaire, que ce serait une mesure inquisitrice. Il pourrait donner son autorisation au subalterne en lui pr\u00e9cisant qu'une fouille \u00e0 nu n'est pas n\u00e9cessaire, selon lui, dans le cadre du pr\u00e9contr\u00f4le.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4967282\" data-originallang=\"en\">Il n'y a pas d'encha\u00eenement logique ensuite. </p>"
