Public Safety Minister Gary Anandasangaree said the government has made significant progress in securing the Canada-U.S. border, while Conservatives criticized 32,000 unaccounted for illegal migrants during committee hearings Oct. 23.
Anandasangaree testified before the House of Commons public safety committee, alongside “fentanyl czar” Kevin Brosseau and Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) President Erin O‘Gorman. The three touted progress on border security and crackdowns on illegal drugs, despite O’Gorman acknowledging there are warrants out for 32,000 absconded illegal migrants.
