OTTAWA — The Canada Border Services Agency has bolstered the infrastructure around 11 ports of entry to Canada as part of the government's response to border blockades associated with the"Freedom Convoy" protest last year, Public Safety Minister Dominic LeBlanc said Thursday.
Commissioner Paul Rouleau put out a final report on Feb. 17, after more than 300 hours of testimony, and issued 56 recommendations on improving the response to large-scale public order emergencies. The Public Safety Department also plans to renew its strategy for critical infrastructure with the help of other agencies and departments, LeBlanc said. The work is expected to be complete in 2024.
Spin-off protests blocked border crossings in Alberta and Ontario, cutting off important trade routes between Canada and the U.S. He also called for national standards on how major national or interprovincial events are handled between governments and their respective police agencies.
