Mr. Speaker, maybe the minister should go down and see what is happening at these ports because she will hear a completely different story from the customs agents and the problems they are facing.
Ironically enough, the Minister of National Revenue stated yesterday that the number one priority for the government is security and safety for Canadians but untrained students are substituting for experienced customs inspectors on the front line of our security. The people who try to enter Canada illegally, criminals, terrorists and drug traffickers, know this. It is unfair to these students and unfair to the public that the minister is willing to put Canadians at risk.
Will the minister admit that students are being used in this way and declare that she will put an end to this dangerous practice?
