“Canada is implementing a $1.3 billion border security plan, strengthening enforcement with new helicopters, technology, personnel, deeper collaboration with our American partners, and additional resources to stop fentanyl trafficking. “We will have about 10,000 people working on the front lines to protect the border,” the prime minister said.
In addition, Canada will create a new position to oversee national efforts to control drug trafficking.
“We will designate cartels as terrorist organizations, provide 24/7 border surveillance, and create a Joint Canada-America Force to combat organized crime, fentanyl, and money laundering. I also signed a new intelligence directive on organized crime and fentanyl, which will be funded with $200 million,” Trudeau said.
