The audit concludes that most investigators had not completed core training, which "could be negatively impacting the quality of investigations."

The audit says no investigator working under the $35 million criminal investigations program had completed the full set of required courses — and less than half of them had completed the CBSA's introductory course, called "Foundations of Criminal Investigations."

"The impact of no training is significant," said another CBSA employee quoted in the audit report, "because you're not supposed to enforce legislation without training."

It's not clear what the current rates of completion are for CBSA investigators.

This is the best summary I could come up with:


The report, posted on the CBSA website late last week, lands just as border officials, politicians, police and industry representatives meet today in Ottawa to discuss plans to tackle the rising number of car thefts over the past two years.

The report says the lack of sufficient training may be undermining planning for complex cases, the preparation of evidence for disclosure, the drafting of Information to Obtain (ITOs) documents and the quality of suspect interviews.

Auditors report the CBSA Human Resources Branch suggested managers were reluctant to release investigators from their duties in order to complete training, leaving courses with too few participants to go forward.

We will ensure we understand why certain completion rates were low, and implement strategies to avoid the situation arising in the future," said spokesperson Guillaume Bérubé.

Earlier this week, Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre said it was Trudeau's "mismanagement [that] has allowed organized crime to take over the operations and the running of our federal ports and use them to transport cars stolen in places like Brampton to the Middle East, to Africa and to parts of Europe.

The federal government says roughly 90,000 cars are stolen annually in Canada, resulting in about $1 billion in costs to Canadian insurance policy holders and taxpayers.


The original article contains 1,072 words, the summary contains 201 words. Saved 81%. I'm a bot and I'm open source!
