Mr. Speaker, we believe that our asylum and immigration systems are strong. We are working closely with stakeholders on the border situation. We are working with our U.S. counterparts on issues related to our shared border, including the safe third country agreement. We always work closely with all of our partners to meet our national and international obligations.

Mr. Speaker, fighting gun violence means cracking down on smuggling at our borders, and that is why we are doing just that. Last year, CBSA seized a record number of illegal firearms at the border, more than double the seizures in 2020. This year alone we invested over $321 million into the border for more X-ray scanners, detector dogs and specialized training. When it comes to protecting our borders, we are the only party Canadians can trust to enforce the law and keep Canadians safe.
