What do you think of this response from the CBSA?
Alain Jolicoeur, president of the CBSA, offers sincere and deepest sympathies to the family of Robert Dziekanski. (CBC) The Canada Border Services Agency will beef up patrols and have more security checks and cameras at Vancouver’s airport, says a report released Monday that gives a timeline of the night Robert Dziekanski died after he was shocked with an RCMP Taser on Oct. 14. The timeline traces the nine-hour period between Dziekanski’s arrival at the customs hall in the international terminal of Vancouver International Airport, and his death shortly after 1 a.m. PT the next morning. Based on the review, released in Vancouver, the CBSA said it would take several remedial actions: Along with other partners such as the Vancouver Airport Authority, it will review procedures on services provided for international travellers and those waiting to meet them. The CBSA will explore options to have more patrols and security checks within the agency’s area. More cameras will be installed to provide an expanded coverage of the CBSA’s area at the airport. Will update its list of employees who can speak languages other than English and French. Will also review its interpreter services to make sure that the services are provided as quickly as possible. The CBSA will review its procedure to ensure all people referred for further examinations report to the secondary examination areas within a reasonable amount of time. What do you think of these actions? Are they sufficient, or should the CBSA be doing something else?
