Thank you, Minister.

You stated earlier that the CBSA is asking for an additional $6 million in funding and that some of this money will be used to address the issue of fraudulent consultants. In our constituency offices, we frequently have constituents tell us that they have been approached by individuals who look a bit suspicious. The same names come up again and again.

Does the Canada Border Services Agency maintain a registry of fraudulent consultants? What specifically will the additional funds requested be used for?
