Mr. Speaker, as everyone is aware, the first line of defence in our fight against terrorism is a strong border.
This week we learned that student employees are manning many of our border crossings. This is a dangerous proposition for our country and the students as well. Customs expects these students to make independent decisions on who crosses the border and who does not. They are forced to work in an unsupervised manner.
Will the minister reconsider his directive of using students as our first line of defence?
