We don't know whether they're apples and oranges, that's my point. We really don't know whether they're apples or oranges because we haven't done that comparison. Until this committee actually sees a comparison, we can't rely on the statement that they're apples and oranges.
DND is requesting $1.2 million from the Department of Fisheries and Oceans for the marine security operation centres. Additionally, DND will be spending $28 million for those centres in subsequent years. In other words, they have reprofiled the funds, thus allowing DND to reallocate this amount to other programs this fiscal year.
Why was it necessary to reprofile $28 million for the marine security operation centres? What is the total budget for those centres, and how much has been spent to date?
