Thank you very much, Commissioner.
Minister, you and many of my colleagues know that I use all opportunities to go around the country and visit with law enforcement and do site visits with them. I had the opportunity to visit the Cornwall point of entry and understand the different operational needs that frontline officers require when it comes to stopping smuggling at the border. This includes the use of different equipment or specialized units to support investigations and operations, whether it's a tactical unit, a canine unit or the surveillance unit.
Regarding the allocation of funding, could you please speak to how these strategic investments will support personnel at our borders, in particular RCMP border integrity units in regions experiencing cross-border smuggling and organized crime?
