Thank you, Madam Chair, and thank you to the witnesses for being here.
Once upon a time, I was a reservist in the Black Watch and served five years in uniform, so I just wanted to salute all in uniform who are working to serve and protect our country.
I am going to start off with a question around security screening.
In our offices, we receive many requests to work on immigration files. On occasion, some are stuck in security screening. Our government has committed to increasing the number of RCMP and CBSA officers by at least 1,000.
Will any of these new resources be dedicated to alleviating the security screening issue? That's number one. Number two is this: What are you doing to reduce these wait times around security screening?
