Canada Border Services Agency: Federal Cuts

Customs And Immigration Union Dept: These cuts are not to the backroom, they are to front-line security, said Brett Evans, president of the Nova Scotia branch of the Customs and Immigration Union, according to The Chronicle Herald. A group of agents and officers with Canada Border Services Agency are expected to be at the Halifax airport this afternoon to rally against ongoing cuts to services and sweeping federal cuts will make it harder to keep drugs and guns off our streets, says the president of the union representing Nova Scotia border services agents. The mandate for these officers is to keep drugs and guns off Canadian streets and that mandate is being severely limited by these cuts. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
