Thank you, Madam Chair, and thanks to the witnesses.
I just had my time cut in half, so we're going to run here. I need some yes or no answers.
Mr. Wex, thank you for all of your testimony.
According to the latest statistics published on the IRCC's website, the number of people who have irregularly crossed over the border to claim asylum are now higher than ever. I think 31,003 is the number I have here today for those who have been intercepted by the RCMP in 2022. There are reports that up to 50,000 people might walk across the border this year.
Has the IRCC or any other department provided the IRB with any estimates of the number of people they expect to walk across the border for the remainder of this year or in any future year, yes or no?
