Madam Speaker, one of the things I was concerned about in the past was when Stephen Harper cut the CBSA by over 1,000 staff, including the teams that actually used to do joint operations with the FBI, U.S. Border Patrol and so forth. The reason I raise it as relevant is that we are short at least two training tranches and upwards of 2,000 to 3,000 CBSA officers on the border right now.
Perhaps the member could provide some information about how this has affected our border capabilities, especially when we lost the embedded teams on that particular file.
