Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Some of the votes that you and your colleagues have requested are meant to cover the additional costs associated with the arrival of a large number of migrants on board the vessel MV Sun Sea. CIC has requested an additional $908,000 and Foreign Affairs, $695,000, while PCO, National Defence and others have also asked for more funding. In all, you estimate that an additional $35 million has been requested.
You maintain in your forecast that Bill C-49 will solve the problem. That opinion is not shared by the opposition. Do you include in your estimates the new costs associated with Bill C-49, including detention costs which will be very high? I understand that these are itemized in Supplementary Estimates (C), but I imagine that you already have an idea of what you will need for the coming year. Have you evaluated the costs associated with detaining all of these people?
