Thank you very much, Mr. Chair.
Mr. Lightbound, quickly, beyond the initial cost overruns, there's a fundamental question that remains unanswered: How much does it actually cost to operate the system today?
During the technical briefing, officials were unable to provide us with the operating costs, the cost per transaction and the costs related to licences and maintaining the system. That's concerning, because we're talking about a public system that manages essential benefits for millions of Canadians. Without that data, it's impossible for Parliament to exercise its role of true oversight over the use of public funds.
Do you know what the current annual cost of the Cúram program is, and what the projected cost is?
