First, I want to thank Mr. Hussen and the department for being here with us today, as well as for their commitment to the integrity of our borders, our asylum system and our overall immigration system.
As my riding of Surrey Centre has some of the highest levels of casework in Canada, we have seen the detrimental impact that unscrupulous immigration consultants can have on people. The main estimates for 2019-20 would provide IRCC with $11 million and CBSA with $1.5 million to protect the public from unscrupulous consultants.
Can you, Minister, explain how these funds will mitigate the risks associated with these dangerous consultants?
