Thank you.
The Customs and Immigration Union estimates that there's a lack of about 3,000 border officers at the CBSA. Currently the agency only has the one college, with a maximum that I'll put at 500 recruits a year.
What's the agency's plan to fill this gap? Have you considered opening another college or other fully equipped training facilities?
The other thing is that I know you're offering to hire retired officers or student workers on a contract basis to perform these duties that are done by trained officers. It's not sustainable in the long term. What's your plan for this?
