Mr. Speaker, I will summarize and be brief so the member for Carleton can rise quickly on this as well. I just want to conclude by noting that Mr. Trump has also questioned the safety and security of our border. I want to remind the Canadian public that in 2014, we lost over 1,000 different CBSA officers who were laid off through cuts. Subsequently, during COVID, there were two tranches of CBSA officers who could not be trained.
Right now there is a shortage of 2,000 to 3,000 officers on the front lines that affects our capabilities as a nation, and this should be part of the general discussion because Mr. Trump has also identified it as a weakness for our nation.
