The reason people waiting to enter Canada at the Osoyoos port of entry may sometimes face long lines is because the Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) often has to balance its resources between keeping B.C.-bound traffic flowing and protecting the border.
That’s the response Alan Profili, the agency’s acting chief at the port, gave in response to recent local concerns raised about long wait times at the border.
“We shift our resources to where they’re required,” he said, adding that circumstances sometimes come up where the attention of CBSA officers processing traffic at the border is required elsewhere.
