Prime Minister Mark Carney announced plans to hire 1,000 new border officers, with a boost to their benefits package in the forthcoming budget to aid recruitment.

He also unveiled plans in the Nov. 4 budget to improve pension benefits for border officers and other front-line first responders, including search-and-rescue personnel.
