C/Supt Joe Oliver

I don't have a number. I would have to go back to our threat documents to look at that.

NDP

Hoang Mai NDP Brossard—La Prairie, QC

Maybe we'll have to send the Auditor General on that.

Thank you.

12:25 p.m.

Conservative

The Chair Conservative James Rajotte

I have one more questioner. I'm not sure why the bells are ringing. We're going to check that.

Mr. Caron.

NDP

Guy Caron NDP Rimouski-Neigette—Témiscouata—Les Basques, QC

I want to pick up on what I was asking you about earlier.

The budget implementation bill will establish the new Framework Agreement on Integrated Cross-Border Maritime Law Enforcement Operations.

You told us there are no financial implications. This is the Standing Committee on Finance, but I appreciate this was the government's decision. Nevertheless, since this is such a key part of public safety, can you tell me whether you appeared before the public safety committee to discuss the Shiprider program?

12:30 p.m.

C/Supt Joe Oliver

In terms of cost estimates, the answer is no.

12:30 p.m.

NDP

Guy Caron NDP Rimouski-Neigette—Témiscouata—Les Basques, QC

No, I mean in terms of how the program works.

12:30 p.m.

C/Supt Joe Oliver

I believe the Senate committee has studied this on two occasions: in relation to Bill S-13, and most recently in relation to the pre-study they are doing for Bill C-38.

12:30 p.m.

NDP

Guy Caron NDP Rimouski-Neigette—Témiscouata—Les Basques, QC

To your knowledge, the House of Commons public safety committee has not studied it?

12:30 p.m.

C/Supt Joe Oliver

I do not recall any--at least I haven't been called to testify.

12:30 p.m.

NDP

Guy Caron NDP Rimouski-Neigette—Témiscouata—Les Basques, QC

Thank you.

12:30 p.m.

Conservative

The Chair Conservative James Rajotte

I thank our witnesses for being here to give us an overview and respond to our questions on this section of the bill.

Colleagues, we will break and see you back here at 3:30 p.m.

Thank you.

The meeting is adjourned.
