Madam Speaker, for my colleague from Sturgeon River—Parkland, recommendation 20 in the report states, “That the Government of Canada allocate additional human and financial resources to the Canada Border Services Agency to enable them to better investigate and apprehend those attempting to smuggle illegal firearms into Canada”. The Harper government cut 1,100 CBSA officers, and our southern border is of considerable importance right now, particularly in the context of the incoming Trump administration. The NDP has called for the reinstatement, the hiring, of those 1,100 border officers that Canada so greatly needs.
Will the Conservatives and the member stand with us to call on the government to hire back those important workers?
