MONTREAL — Public Safety Minister Steven Blaney says 51 criminals on the Canada Border Services Agency's wanted list have been intercepted since the program was set up in 2011.

Blaney says more than 30 of them were identified in the last 12 months.

Blaney also said more than 150 convicted U.S. sex offenders have been denied entry to Canada in the last three years.
