The thing about CBSA is that there are always more narcotics to catch, there are always more people to remove and there are always more organized crime members exploiting the border. This is a hard question to answer. We would put any additional officers to good use.
In terms of the study today, what Mr. Gallivan has outlined are the efforts they will make to bring people back into compliance and/or identify fraud, nudge people and have consequences for people. Those people for whom that doesn't work become our clients in our removal inventory, and we will remove them as we remove other individuals.
The fewer the people who come into our removals inventory because they're out of compliance, the better it is for the system. It's an expensive prospect to have a CBSA officer find somebody to remove them. We prioritize serious inadmissibility and failed claimants, but we also remove people who are out of compliance.
On some of the integrity measures that IRCC will be putting in place, I think we will see a big impact from that. Students seeing the consequence of not being able to come back for five years will view that as severe, and that will lead to some of the behaviours we would like to see.
