Mr. Speaker, I will take the word of the border officials over that minister and her spin doctors every time.
Along with the flawed focus of the searches, the Liberal emphasis on the border is on quotas and collection of duties rather than the actual public security. There are over a thousand ports of entry in Canada and 250 unguarded roads. Because the RCMP detachments have been closed, the union proposes sidearms and patrols. Recently agents walked off the job rather than face dangerous, armed individuals.
Why is the government risking the safety of Canadians and front line officers? How can it expect to stop dangerous terrorists and drug runners--
