In fact, we've observed that in the case Service Canada, which handles service requests for 12 or 14 different departments, it's relatively easy to use the SIN for other purposes.
Now then, I'm going to stray a bit from the subject at hand, because I believe that along with our colleagues, we'll be able to look into this matter.
In the course of your work, have you had an opportunity to examine the budget allocated for compassionate care leave? I'd like to take advantage of your presence here today to ask you to examine the whole area. If memory serves me correctly, $159 million was allocated for compassionate leave. Apparently, the cost of administering this leave was $70 million, whereas the actual cost of compassionate care benefits was $11 million.
We'd like some assurances that this analysis is correct. Perhaps you could enlighten us further at a later date, unless you're able to do so right now.
