Thank you very much for your question, Mr. Ayoub.
Clearly, the security and integrity of our borders are essential priorities for our government. These funds will allow them to maintain frontline service levels and monitoring of high-risk export goods that leave Canada.
The Canada Border Services Agency is facing increasingly acute operational pressure. It must deal with an increase in the number of travellers, threats related to terrorism and organized crime, as well as an increase in international trade.
For some time there have been operational pressures at CBSA. The global environment is not getting any simpler, so we're making investments that reflect operational challenges that have existed for some time in order to strengthen the operational effectiveness of CBSA.
