    "Cracking down on drugs, including fentanyl and its precursors, illegal guns, and stopping organized crime gangs from smuggling cars out of the country. We will train 1,000 new Canadian Border Services Agency (CBSA) officers. In addition, to secure our borders, we will stand up additional border scanners, drones and new K-9 teams, to target more suspicious shipments at our land borders, ports, and railyards;" — liberal.ca, retrieved 2025-04-16
