Mr. Speaker, something the member brought up in his speech this afternoon is of particular interest to me, that being the CBSA. Amazing women and men work for the Canada Border Services Agency. They protect our borders and are on the front lines of facilitating trade while enforcing regulations and keeping our country safe. They have an incredibly difficult and challenging job and I thank them for the job they do.
\nThat said, it is clear that they bear the majority of responsibility for imports and exports, as they should, but the agency is severely understaffed. The agency needs more men and women at the border to be able to prevent the importation of things like diafiltered milk, and the issue we are having around that in particular. When we are talking about expanding the dangerous goods that will be travelling through our country, we need to ensure that the CBSA has all of the tools it needs to be able to do so safely, as the member mentioned in his speech.
\nDo you believe that the CBSA requires additional support to make our borders more efficient and secure?
", "fr": "Monsieur le Pr\u00e9sident, dans son intervention de cet apr\u00e8s-midi, le d\u00e9put\u00e9 a soulev\u00e9 une question qui m\u2019int\u00e9resse tout particuli\u00e8rement, celle de l\u2019ASFC. L\u2019Agence des services frontaliers du Canada est compos\u00e9e d\u2019hommes et de femmes admirables. Ils prot\u00e8gent nos fronti\u00e8res et sont en premi\u00e8re ligne pour faciliter le commerce tout en faisant appliquer les r\u00e8glements et en faisant en sorte que notre pays demeure s\u00fbr. Ils ont un travail incroyablement difficile \u00e0 effectuer et je les en remercie.
\nCela \u00e9tant pos\u00e9, il est \u00e9vident qu\u2019ils assument l\u2019essentiel des responsabilit\u00e9s relatives aux importations et aux exportations, ce qui est normal, si ce n\u2019est que l\u2019Agence est tr\u00e8s nettement en sous-effectif. Elle doit pouvoir d\u00e9ployer davantage d\u2019hommes et de femmes \u00e0 la fronti\u00e8re pour bloquer les importations de produits comme le lait diafiltr\u00e9 et pour pr\u00e9venir les probl\u00e8mes que cela occasionne. Puisqu\u2019il est question d\u2019\u00e9largir la gamme des marchandises dangereuses qui pourront traverser notre pays, il y a lieu de faire en sorte que l\u2019Agence dispose de tous les outils n\u00e9cessaires pour que cela se fasse en toute s\u00e9curit\u00e9, comme le d\u00e9put\u00e9 l\u2019a mentionn\u00e9 dans son discours.
\nNe pensez-vous pas que l\u2019ASFC a besoin d\u2019un soutien additionnel pour faire en sorte que le franchissement des fronti\u00e8res soit plus efficace et plus s\u00fbr?
