Over 37,000 people. That would be just over 100 a day the CBSA is turning away for people entering into Canada.
Mr. Brock paints a very different picture. He paints a picture as though the border from Canada going into the United States is open and free for everyone to travel every way. You folks and the agencies and the departments that you represent do an incredible job if you're turning away 38,000 people within the last year from entering.
Notwithstanding the hyped-up rhetoric and what you've been subjected to listening to, I just want to conclude by thanking you for the incredible work that you do. We never want to see situations like this arise. We never want to allow people who have plans or who would like to act in a manner that has been described as happening to enter into this country. However, at least when somebody does slip through, you're still there because, as you said, you have multiple checks and balances and multiple layers in place to protect Canadians. I'm not only seeing it here. I saw it in my hometown where this happened in 2019. Because of the relationships you have with other countries, because of the collaboration you have with other countries, despite the politics that goes on in this room, we are safer, and I want to thank you for that.
