The Conservative Government

CBSA Dept: The Conservative government, which has made law-and-order the central plank of its agenda, is being pressed to do more to combat the smuggling of handguns to Canada from the United States, according to The Star. I think everybody ought to be worried about where they are coming from, how they re getting in. We are very concerned that the CBSA is not really adequately staffed to deal with gun smuggling, he said and OTTAWA Front-line border officers are confiscating fewer guns than they did a decade ago and ongoing budget cuts could make it even harder to stem the tide of illegal firearms onto Toronto streets, a New Democrat MP says. The proliferation is enormous . . . they re used in crimes. They re used by youth, NDP MP Mike Sullivan said Friday. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
