Mr. Chair, as the member pointed out, budget 2019 follows investments in budget 2018 with $208 million. This will allow the IRB, over the next 24 months, to staff an additional 450 people, in addition to the 250 from budget 2018. Those monies are being allocated to hire additional decision-makers. Refugee protection decision-makers will grow from 120 to 300. Refugee appeal division Governor in Council appointees will grow from 70 to 103 this year, and close to 120 next year.
There are also, as Ms. MacDonald pointed out, investments associated with IT to allow us to achieve the objectives we've been discussing. Of course, there is important money set aside for space, accommodations and various enablers to help us grow as an organization.
