Thank you very much for that.
You're asking for $1.2 billion in the supplementary estimates (B). The backlog is 2.4 million. It's almost the longest it's ever been. It's a little bit shorter than it was in August. It was 1.8 million right before the pandemic. This department has received more staff—almost 3,000 more staff since 2016—and almost doubled its budget since 2016, and the backlog has only increased.
Why should we give you another dollar? Why will it make any difference?
