A quarter of Canada\u0027s front line border staff surveyed said they had directly witnessed a colleague discriminate against a traveller.

Of these respondents, 71 per cent suggested the discrimination was based, in full or in part, on the travellers’ race, and just over three-quarters cited their national or ethnic origin.

As part of the research, 922 border services officers and superintendents were surveyed from March 2 to 22, 2020.Article content The CBSA’s traveller processing activities do not intentionally set out to target people based on perceptions around their race or ethnicity, the report says.

The reviewers found the agency could conduct only “very limited analysis” based on travellers’ racial or ethnic identities when using operational data.
