Mr. Speaker, people who live near the border in Salaberry—Suroît and Châteauguay—Lacolle all know that smugglers are already one step ahead of the federal government. With the return of Donald Trump, people are even more worried. Cutting the CBSA's hours of service does nothing to reassure the public.
At a time when the RCMP should be stepping up its efforts and we are asking Ottawa to support those efforts, does the government realize how contradictory and disturbing it is to learn that the CBSA is reducing its services?
