Here's why I'm asking that question. The report also notes that in 2012 the IRCC issued a public warning that nearly 11,000 persons were linked to residency fraud investigations. Then in 2014 we had the largest ever increase of Canadian citizens being accepted in Canada, over 260,000 people.
If the budget is cut, or there's not a budget change to deal with more of these applications, and we have a data problem, there are a lot of things that can fall through the cracks, as we say. That's why I'm asking the question whether we can determine what the budget was.
