Canada Border Officials and RCMP Officials to Provide Testimony on the Effects of Trump’s Border Security Proposals

December 12, 2024 TruthUSA

Officials responsible for border enforcement in Canada will be appearing before a parliamentary committee today to discuss the potential impact of president-elect Donald Trump’s border security and migration policies.

Erin O’Gorman, President of the Canada Border Services Agency, and Michael Duheme, Commissioner of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, will be addressing the House of Commons public safety and national security committee.

During the recent presidential campaign, Trump made threats to deport millions of undocumented individuals.

In response to Trump’s tariff threats, Ottawa is working on implementing new measures to enhance border security by increasing staffing and acquiring additional equipment.

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau discussed his border security plan with provincial leaders in a meeting on Wednesday, and Ottawa intends to incorporate their feedback into the upcoming set of measures.

The Royal Canadian Mounted Police currently has more than 900 drones and nine helicopters stationed across the country, with six helicopters intermittently conducting border surveillance.
