Michael Fergusons: Canada Border Services

Canada Border Services: The audit found that some people who pose a significant threat to Canadians safety and security have successfully entered the country illegally, and that CBSA lacks adequate information to assess its own performance, according to The Star. Given the seriousness of the threats that lookouts are designed to address, even one missed lookout is cause for concern, the audit report reads and OTTAWA The Canada Border Services Agencys efforts to keep high-risk individuals out of the country are often not working as intended, according to a report from auditor general Michael Fergusons office. Fergusons office examined CBSAs lookout system automated messages to officials flagging people and shipments that may pose a threat to Canadians. Lookout messages are intended to intercept individuals believed to be engaged in terrorism, organized crime and human smuggling. Of the 34 lookout files examined by the office, five were not examined as required. Four were allowed to enter Canada, while no record exists of the fifth arriving in Canada.
