Thank you very much, Mr. Chair. It's good to see you back.
Minister, thank you for coming.
I'm not on this committee, but I am quite astounded at some of the things I'm hearing. Minister, all these announcements that come out, it would appear in terms of what I've been able to understand in the last three quarters of an hour is that there's been absolutely no idea on the costing and no analysis in terms of outcome. What I'm seeing is that you've been able to build in, as was in the government's budget, some exorbitant contingency funds so that when things don't work out, it makes it look like you have saved substantial amounts of dollars.
These are all significant issues. When asked about waiving the immigration loans program, you were not able to give an answer. There are the military bases that were converted out of somebody's budget, DND's likely. The people who were going there are not going there. I don't know if those buildings are sitting empty now waiting in case there is a change in immigration, but again, no costs were given today about it. On the cost to renovate the hotels, and there were great announcements about the renovations, there are no guidelines in terms of the costs. What is the cost of the new additional social assistance that is now being allocated to the refugee program, sir?
