Remember to get back to us in a timely manner. Earlier in the week would be helpful, given the timing of this.
The concern is that if the money is actually coming from the existing RCMP budget, the RCMP have faced significant cuts, $195 million to its actual budget. The Auditor General is already concerned that the RCMP cannot meet existing obligations without new funding.
So setting aside say $20 million per year while $195 million per year is getting cut doesn't necessarily help the RCMP meet additional responsibilities that could result from the unintended but highly likely consequence of a growth of an underground market for cigarettes as a result of these taxes.
That's it for part 3.
