Madam Speaker, the part of the Conservative motion I agree with is about the Liberal government's lax borders. My colleague and I both heard about this at the Standing Committee on Public Safety. At times, there are only six RCMP officers covering the entire southern border. The Customs and Immigration Union told us that border services officers would be able to help, but an order in council prevents them from patrolling between border crossings at this time. They can do their job at border crossings, but not between them. Obviously, there are not enough boots on the ground.
Does my colleague agree that the minister could simply reverse this order, which was made several years ago, and allow border services officers to lend a hand at the border to make it safer?
