Thank you very much for that really important question.
You touched on an expenditure that has proven to be much value for money for our government. It has funded the aggressive and sustained outreach program that we've had since 2017 to support our outreach to various communities in the United States and beyond to address misinformation and clarify our immigration system and asylum procedures.
This money has also allowed us to engage with governments like Nigeria, and engage with our partners in the United States to deter irregular migration through addressing issues around misuse of U.S. visas. The fact of the matter is that this investment has had quite an impact in the sense of the reduction in the number of Nigerian nationals who have been coming to Canada irregularly and the progress we have made in terms of addressing the abuse of the U.S. visa system. Equally important is its impact on the misinformation that we've been able to address on the ground in the United States with various communities and individuals who are seeking to find out about our asylum and immigration system, and who were subjected to misinformation about our system.
