Unfortunately, there is no little form for customs officers to fill out to let DFAIT know what its employees have been up to. Other than having their shipments confiscated, these civil servants are not penalized in any way.</p>\n<p>I ask the minister: Is a diplomatic passport a membership card to an elite in order to put themselves above the laws of Canada?</p>",
