Mr. Speaker, the government says it is going to hire 1,000 more officers for the CBSA, but hiring 1,000 CBSA officers barely deals with the losses currently happening through attrition. When we open the Gordie Howe Bridge next year, the shifting of personnel will leave a massive hole in the system. In addition, there is no training capacity for these 1,000 proposed officers.
Can the member explain how we are going to be able to meet the goal of 1,000 new officers being proposed?
