Madam Speaker, the bill gives new powers to border services officers, but those already on the ground are overwhelmed. The union even says that they are short 2,000 to 3,000 officers.
Let us start with the Prime Minister's promise. On April 10 during the election campaign, he promised 1,000.
Can my colleague tell me how many new officers have been hired since then? If the answer is zero, when will they start hiring to secure our borders?
