Official Languages committee  I have not heard about this situation. That should not be happening, as it clearly violates our policies.

Health committee  Thank you, Chair and member, for the question. I must say that right from the onset of our preparation of our response at the border, our officers' personal health in the performance of their duties on a day-to-day basis was front and centre in all of our preparation, in everyth

Health committee  I thank the hon. member for his question. Actually, as soon as the U.S. border measures were put in place, we had already begun to lay the groundwork for the reopening. We didn't think we would still be in this situation today, but we're projecting the volume of people who are g

Health committee  Yes, absolutely. We are in contact with our Group of Five partners, the United States, Australia, New Zealand and the United Kingdom, to learn from their experience and to guide our approach. We are currently developing various scenarios to guide our approach to border reopening,

Health committee  Thank you for the question. We never stopped hiring frontline officers. We hire about 300 a year, at the CBSA College in Rigaud. We've reassigned staff because people are making fewer trips. Those employees are currently assigned to our commercial operations. We're also doing ma

Health committee  It's a 16-week program offered through the CBSA College and it's followed by 12 months of ongoing training in the field.

Public Safety committee  Thanks for turning your attention to us, I guess. First and foremost, we looked at our officers' personal safety. That's where it initially started. We looked to make sure the perimeter of each of our ports of entry was secure. We worked with local police. Only on two occasions

Transport committee  Thank you, and good afternoon to all of you. Good afternoon Mr. Chair, and members of the Standing Committee on Transport, Infrastructure and Communities. Thank you for inviting me to participate in the discussion today. I am pleased to be here to answer your questions about t

Transport committee  I'm happy to start. I'm not aware of any. I would have to verify on that front. Those are investigations that are normally undertaken by the RCMP. They'd probably be better positioned to speak about any insider threat type of activity that would have been investigated at the CBS

Transport committee  Thank you for the question. We always check whether individuals or commercial goods coming into the country are covered by the sanctions already in place against Iran, North Korea and other countries. We take into account the new Foreign Affairs sanctions that have been added t

Transport committee  We regularly monitor all planes, trucks, and other vehicles coming into the country. We work with the other intelligence services in Canada to do further research, when we suspect that planes that are about to arrive in the country might be targeted by the sanctions. This is some

Transport committee  You are correct. We work very closely and communicate with the people in that department on a daily basis.

Transport committee  There are two parts to the answer. First, in this case, it was a small plane. It was a commercial plane, but smaller than a Boeing 737. When we were informed that it might be subject to sanctions, we notified Transport Canada, which took over the file on the aircraft. As for

Transport committee  Thank you for your excellent question. We are able to receive Ukrainians and people who leave their country to come here because of what is happening at home. Our security checks include checking their biometrics, including their fingerprints, and their documents. We do all the

Transport committee  This is a very good question, but I think my colleagues Mr. Schwartz and Mr. Gupta are better equipped to answer it.
