Thank you to the witnesses for being here.
My question is for Derek Fildebrandt. I want you to give us a clearer understand of the total cost of documenting the illegal arrivals and refugees. We sometimes confuse refugees with other arrivals.
The figure of $50,000 per year has been tossed around, but I think the cost is more pervasive than that, because there's a cost to the economy. There's a social cost. There's the cost to government having to provide security, provide the supervision, and perhaps the legal aid. Would you mind just running through the federal, provincial, and municipal levels of what those costs are? We might come up to a figure approaching close to $100,000 per person or per family. Would you please comment on that?
