Mr. Speaker, we said that we were not going to give the government carte blanche. Once again, we are going to work hard in committee. We want to get some answers from the government.
I repeat that, when promises are made during an election campaign, both the opposition parties and the public want to see results. However, right now, they seem to be mostly empty promises.
On the ground, we are being told that 2,000 to 3,000 more CBSA officers are needed. The government says it will hire 1,000. I do not know where the government got that number, but it is not 1,000 officers that are needed; it is between 2,000 and 3,000.
