Minister, when your deputy said that there was an urgent need to revisit the safe third country act and your department was suggesting costs of up to $3 billion, including social costs out to 2021, you were telling this committee that it could be handled by moving internally or being nimble. I would suggest to you that your department was preparing major budget submissions that contradicted your evidence to this committee.
