Mr. Chair, my question was far shorter than both of the minister's answers so far. I think I should have the opportunity to pose the question. The fact is the answer is—he had it in front of him—that in 2013-14 the government spent $65.5 million on protection for Canadians and natural resources. This years it's proposing to spend only $58.7 million. That's a cut.
Why is the department slashing the funding to protect Canadians by almost $7 million this year?
