Thank you, Mr. Chair.
According to the public accounts, the RCMP, CBSA and CSIS lapsed by some $371 million. Now, I know deputy that it's not as straightforward as it looks, in terms of lapsing of money.
My question is for the RCMP. The RCMP lapsed by $158.6 million, yet the Commissioner of the RCMP told the Senate national security committee on October 27, and I'll quote him:
Frankly speaking, one of the challenges in managing and leading a police organization is that you never have enough money—you never do.
I wonder if the deputy commissioner could connect the dots for us.
Was it not possible to use some of that $158 million for human resources? Were they not available? Could you clarify those numbers and tell us why?
