Mr. Speaker, no, because in fact we increased the number of frontline CBSA officers, and we actually armed them. Furthermore, what we spent less money on was back-office bureaucracy and consultants. This member is busy bragging that he voted for a more expensive CBSA. Yes; it went to consultants. The money did not go to boots on the ground. Tens of millions of dollars went to back-office bureaucrats and high-priced consultants, which increased the burden on taxpayers without increasing the security at the border. That is the fundamental difference.
We delivered more border security at a lower price. The fact that it costed less for us to secure the border is actually a plus. The NDP does not understand. When we deliver a better result at a lower price to taxpayers, that is a good thing, and they will get more of it when I am prime minister.
