        "fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"7972149\" data-originallang=\"en\">Monsieur le pr\u00e9sident, j'aimerais simplement dire que l'ASFC a entrepris divers efforts de modernisation tant pour le volet des voyageurs que pour le volet commercial afin d'accro\u00eetre l'efficacit\u00e9.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"7972150\" data-originallang=\"en\">Nous pouvons envisager de red\u00e9ployer certains de nos agents frontaliers qui traitent actuellement les dossiers \u00e0 faible valeur des voyageurs ou des importateurs commerciaux vers les secteurs en croissance o\u00f9 le trafic entrant \u2014 du c\u00f4t\u00e9 commercial ou des voyageurs \u2014 augmente. Autre facteur important, nous pouvons leur confier davantage d'inspections de conteneurs s'appuyant sur le renseignement. Nous ciblons donc davantage nos efforts.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"7972151\" data-originallang=\"en\">Certaines des donn\u00e9es que nous recevrons \u2014 non seulement gr\u00e2ce \u00e0 ce projet de loi, mais aussi gr\u00e2ce \u00e0 de nouveaux syst\u00e8mes de donn\u00e9es dans lesquels l'ASFC investit \u2014, nous permettront de traiter plus efficacement nos dossiers prioritaires. Nous prot\u00e9gerons ainsi la cha\u00eene d'approvisionnement en veillant \u00e0 ce que les marchandises prohib\u00e9es au Canada soient intercept\u00e9es \u00e0 la fronti\u00e8re.</p>"
