Mr. Speaker, it is truly shameful to see how Canada has become a laughingstock in recent days because of our national security.
For days, the Minister of Public Safety has stubbornly repeated that all is well at the Stanstead border crossing. He continues to ignore the situation and repeats that Bill C-31 will magically solve the problem of smugglers. In the meantime, 11 people managed to cross the border and were not intercepted until they reached Magog.
It is time for the minister to realize that Bill C-31 is an utter failure and that cuts will not solve anything at the Canada Border Services Agency.
Will the minister finally take the situation seriously and wake up once and for all?
