We invited our own employees to take part in the planning process. I am referring to border officers. Quebec has the lead role on this for all regions.
Frontline employees who will have to deal with the delays affecting businesses have been using CARM for months. They are establishing procedures. We also have 80 additional employees who can be assigned to other duties in response to specific needs.
I referred to contingency plans. One of them involves hiring those 80 additional employees. We are not too optimistic, but we are preparing for situations that might arise. The fact that our frontline employees, who will have to deal with the businesses and truckers, say they are ready gives us some confidence in the measures in place.
