You have to learn to crawl before you learn to walk, and I think that's the analogy here. There's no disrespect to students. They do work hard, and they gain valuable experience, but I am deeply troubled by the fact that at times there are more students on the front line than there are fully trained officers.
We juxtapose that with this promise to train 1,000 officers, when those officers will be eaten up by attrition and we don't have training facilities. All in all, this is a bleak situation for CBSA officers.
Would you agree?
