Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Minister Hussen and Minister Blair, first, I'm very happy that you've made two statements before the committee.
Minister Blair, you confirmed that it's illegal to cross our border between the official ports of entry.
The 2018-19 supplementary estimates (B) contain a request for $114 million to support the increase in the number of asylum seekers. The opposition's statements have been true for a long time.
Mr. Blair, in your opening remarks, you mentioned security checks, and so did Minister Hussen. We know that just over 2,500 people haven't been subject to any security checks. You were already asked about this during question period. You didn't know then, but you know now. Do you think that it's acceptable?
