Mr. Speaker, as Conservatives like quotes, let me quote their record on the issue. When Conservatives were in power, they cut $143 million from CBSA. That was 1,100 CBSA employees. What did the former president for public safety workers say at the time? He said, “more weapons, illegal drugs and child pornography will pass through our borders, not to mention terrorists and sexual predators and hardened criminals.” That is the Conservative record.
