Thank you, Mr. Chair. I'm going to share my time with Mr. Cannan.

Thank you to our witnesses for being here this afternoon.

I have just a couple of questions. The first question or two relate to the special adviser on human smuggling, just to sort of segue from Mr. Armstrong's line of questioning as well.

I would ask if you could just correct or confirm this presumption. I presume this is a PCO expense because the mandate of the special adviser on human smuggling is so government-wide that it's appropriate that it's a PCO expense, as opposed to CIC or CBSA. It touches such a wide range of mandates and departments. Is that correct?
