Thank you, Mr. Wiebe, for being here. In my view, you've brought a very professional approach to your presentation here today and answered questions with a lot of confidence.
As a finance committee, we're also here at other times to probe and ask questions relative to a federal budget that was just introduced and saddled Canadians with a $30-billion debt going forward, and I'm sure glad that we're giving CBC another $675 million, because it looks as though they're using that money very well.
Mr. Wiebe, back in 2013 the Conservative government budgeted $30 million, and $15 million went to establish a new offshore compliance division with some 70 employees. I believe the CRA reported recently that in the 2014-15 fiscal year, over $1 billion in new revenue was derived because of that initiative. In this recent budget, as has been mentioned by our friends across the way, some $444 million over five years has been invested.
If you start to do the numbers, do you really feel that kind of expenditure is going to give the return that the $15-million investment gave?
