Thank you, through you, Chair.
Mr. Hill, I don't want to get into a detailed discussion around cost, but I have to disagree with one of the comments you made in answer to Mr. Lamoureux's questioning, and that is the cost of detention on a daily basis for an individual in Montreal versus the cost of detention in Vancouver and Toronto, in Rexdale.
Rexdale, Toronto, is about $140 a day, as we were told. In Vancouver, based upon the structure of that arrangement, if they remain in detention, they're not at the airport facility very long; they end up in a provincial facility, and the costs there are somewhere in that neighbourhood. When we were in Montreal and we did a cost breakdown, we were told that it was between $400 and $500 per day per detainee. So I do find that quite a significant difference. You said they were comparable. I don't know if I would agree.
I would agree that Vancouver and Rexdale are comparable, but I wouldn't agree that Montreal and Rexdale and Vancouver are comparable.
