Mr. Speaker, I want to congratulate my esteemed colleague from Lac‑Saint‑Jean on his speech.
The government likes to repeat itself to give the impression that it is doing a good job. In April, the Prime Minister announced at a press conference that the government was going to hire additional CBSA officers to secure our borders. However, that request came from the Americans. It was not his idea.
Then he held another press conference in October and announced the same thing again. He said there would be an announcement in the budget. He keeps repeating the same announcements over and over again. However, he never states the number of people needed, the number that the border services union is asking for.
Does my colleague think that this government is making things up as it goes along, or does it have a plan with a very clear vision?
