The two federal agencies responsible for border security are in the process of identifying what new equipment they need to increase their capabilities, according to Public Safety Minister Dominic LeBlanc.

LeBlanc said he will be working “very quickly” with Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland and other colleagues to ensure the RCMP and the Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) are able to procure the new equipment.
