Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Thank you, witnesses, for being here. Many of you I know and have worked with in the past.
I'm going to start with you, Mr. Armstrong. You seem to have a lot in common with Mr. Cooper and the trucking industry.
You talked about the need to strengthen the Canada Border Services Agency. You feel it's understaffed. You suggest that there's better need for skilled workers. I'm wondering if the jobs in your industry are going unfilled.
Do you see a better sense of investment in federal infrastructure at borders as being part of the response to the need you've cited? Mr. Cooper, perhaps you could also give us a better illustration of some of the difficulties your members are facing as they try to cross the border. What specifics do you recommend to this committee?
Mr. Armstrong.
