Mr. Speaker, as a member of Parliament representing a riding that borders the United States, I have an interest in border security.
The throne speech mentions the hiring of additional RCMP officers, but there is not a word about the government's intention to add human resources to the Canada Border Services Agency.
Does my colleague not find it odd, even abnormal, that the previous government's commitment to hire 1,000 border services officers was not included in the throne speech?
