Summary
Stephen Staley, director of The Hub's Fault Lines initiative, discusses his recent commentary on the systemic enforcement crisis across Canada. He explains how federal regulations exist on paper but aren't followed in practice, citing examples from airport security failures enabling organized crime to refugee processing shortcuts and fraudulent truck driver training. Staley argues that the government prioritizes communications announcements over implementation, leaving enforcement gaps that criminals exploit.
