Thank you, Mr. Chair.
My questions are primarily for Mr. Elcock.
Illegal migrants are often people who leave their countries for economic reasons, criminals or terrorists. They might transit through Canada to go to another country or they might stay here for a while.
The estimates provide for a $1.1-million increase in funding for the Office of the Special Advisor on Human Smuggling and Illegal Migration. Can you tell us what purpose will the funding serve?
