Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I have a couple of questions. I'll start with Mr. Potter.
Mr. Potter, there seems to be kind of a prevailing thought out there, and certainly we hear it in the media all the time, that the government is awash in cash, the provincial government is awash in cash, there's cash everywhere. I'm very sensitive to that because, as pointed out by my colleague, it's the taxpayers' money, it's Canadians' money. When I see an estimate that's 22 times inflation...if I were a taxpayer sitting at home, I'd have concerns about that.
Essentially your funding was about $1 per Canadian. Every Canadian is giving FINTRAC about $1. What you've asked for is $1.50. What's in it for them? What are they going to get for their 50ยข? How much more are they going to get out of it? What is the benefit to Canadians by extending this additional funding?
