Madam Speaker, the suggestion made by the member is certainly worth looking into. I have enjoyed working with her on the public safety committee, and of course, we had the Minister of Public Safety there and asked him a number of questions about the border and the fact that Canada is basically staring down the barrel of a 25% tariff from our biggest trading partner. We trade 80% with the United States and they are threatening a 25% tariff if we do not shore up the border, which of course Conservatives have been calling on Liberals to do over the nine years they have been in power.
However, the minister, who was happy to jet-set to Mar-a-Lago to make excuses for why the border security has been so bad in Canada, of course did not have a plan. There was no commitment on the numbers that are going to be put at the border. There was no commitment to expand the authority of the CBSA beyond the ports of entry. There was no commitment to bring in RCMP officers or to work with provincial authorities. There was no commitment at all. In fact, it does not seem that Liberals have a plan.
The Trump administration is coming in five weeks. They have no plan, and we are facing 25% tariffs. It does not sound like the government is working for the people to me.
