Thank you, Mr. Chair.

I want to thank the witnesses for being here and for their comments on an issue that concerns us significantly. I specifically want to thank Mr. Weber for pointing out the problems, particularly within the Canada Border Services Agency.

Mr. Weber, you spoke about a lack of resources and an extra workload. You answered my colleague's question by saying that there should be about 1,000 additional officers.

Is a labour shortage preventing the agency from having enough officers, or is there not enough money to hire them?
