The CBSA administers three detention centres. The one in Vancouver is at the Vancouver airport. It's very short-term and there are 24 beds for less than 72 hours' use. In Toronto, the immigration holding centre has a capacity of about 220 beds. In Montreal and Laval, we have a holding centre with a capacity of about 150 beds. In addition, we rely on the provinces to detain high-risk cases and other cases where CBSA does not have holding facilities. For the past couple of years, the daily maximum has ranged from 400 to 500 detainees using the provincial and CBSA detention facilities.
