Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre is demanding that the federal government ramp up border security by increasing ground patrols and expanding the mandate of the Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA).

Speaking at a press conference in Ottawa on Dec. 1, Poilievre called for “boots on the ground” and stronger border security measures to protect Canada’s economic and security interests.
