Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Thanks to all of you for being here.
I think I'm going to come at this a little differently than some of my colleagues have. We've already been hearing about a treatment and medications and prescriptions without having done a diagnosis. We haven't even done symptoms and signs of what the problems are.
I'm not going to jump to the conclusion that we need a lead, because that's a simplistic answer for me. What I'd like to know a little bit about from you is how we can help you do the job that we want done better. That's our goal.
I would start out by saying that it's Parliament that gives you your resources, not the government. Parliament has done that. We have estimates here all the time where no one asks questions about what we need to actually give you. I'm going to try to help you to help us do the job that we share and collectively want to do. I want estimates. Someday we'll actually talk about money and that kind of stuff, because it's our job to give you the resources you need.
I want to start off by saying that the government announced and Parliament did approve some $76 million for the sanctions regime, some of it going to Global Affairs on the determination of sanctions and some of it going to the RCMP on the enforcement and, I believe, the evidence that is used to determine sanctions as well. I think the RCMP is involved before and after, to a degree, in what's going on.
Can you tell us, is that money enough? Do you need more money? Are you under-resourced? What would be helpful?
I will give each of you a chance to do that. Maybe I'll start with the RCMP. This is your time, and then we'll end it when we get there.
