Mr. Speaker, I listened carefully to my colleague and I know that the border security issue is especially important to him.
I would like to know his thoughts on the Canada Border Services Agency's commitment to hire an additional 1,000 officers, 800 of them armed and 200 unarmed.
Does my colleague agree that we need not 1,000 border officers, but close to 3,000 to meet the needs and provide adequate border security?
