Yes. I do.

Can you tell us a little bit about a budget increase we made not so long ago, actually in the last budget of our government, for the RCMP? They have an annual budget of $2.8 billion. They are expecting an increase.

I understand there's been a change between vote 1 and vote 5. Can you tell us exactly how they changed the calculation, the presentation of their expenditure, the operating versus capital? Could we have an overview of the budget of the RCMP, please?
