The numbers are a little confusing, Mr. Chair. When we did the audit in 2003, there was no such database, so we did an estimation of the increase in the number. The 36,000 was the increase in the number of illegal immigrants in the country. We simply compared warrants that had been issued on known departures over six years. So it is difficult to know. We didn't actually have a base number.
The agency has actually done a lot of work to be able to put this database in place. It shows that there are 63,000, but we don't know what the starting number was. That number of 36,000 was probably high, because again, people may have left the country without having reported to the agency.
