I would like her to explain and elaborate on that because I do not believe that the RCMP would have more powers. They only act as immigration officers when there is no immigration officer available.</p>",

J\u2019aimerais qu\u2019elle nous en dise plus \u00e0 ce sujet, car je ne crois pas que la GRC aurait plus de pouvoirs.
