"en": "<p data-HoCid=\"1424754\" data-originallang=\"en\">Mr. Speaker, I thank the hon. member for that question because it is absolutely at the core. Each of the individual agencies are doing their work. We recognize that there are a variety of security and law enforcement agencies at play at the borders. Various agencies, such as the CBSA, the RCMP, CSIS and Transport Canada are watching and addressing these issues.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1424755\" data-originallang=\"en\">The problem is that despite repeated calls and the government saying that it would act, there is still no overall network or understanding of how we are to do this oversight. People and things are falling through the cracks. People do not know who to complain to or who to hold accountable and, therefore, people get hurt. The government has not taken the steps to ensure that we have an adequate umbrella oversight agency, as has been recommended by Iacobucci and O'Connor.</p>",
"fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"1424754\" data-originallang=\"en\">Monsieur le Pr\u00e9sident, je remercie le d\u00e9put\u00e9 de sa question parce qu'elle est absolument fondamentale. Chacun des organismes fait son travail. Nous savons que divers organismes de s\u00e9curit\u00e9 et d'application de la loi s'occupent des questions frontali\u00e8res. En effet, des organismes, comme l'ASFC, la GRC, le SCRS et Transports Canada, examinent et traitent ces questions.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1424755\" data-originallang=\"en\">Le probl\u00e8me est que, malgr\u00e9 des demandes r\u00e9p\u00e9t\u00e9es et les promesses d'action du gouvernement, nous ne savons pas encore comment mettre en place ce m\u00e9canisme de surveillance. Il y a des personnes et des choses qui passent \u00e0 travers les mailles du filet. Les gens ne savent pas \u00e0 qui se plaindre et qui tenir responsable, et ils en souffrent. Le gouvernement n'a pas pris les mesures n\u00e9cessaires pour s'assurer que nous avons un organisme-cadre de surveillance appropri\u00e9, tel que l'ont recommand\u00e9 Iacobucci et O'Connor.</p>"
