As I think has been spoken to by the Auditor General—and she can add to this—I don't think any of us has the certainty on where the cost of the ultimate work that was undertaken in relation to ArriveCAN is. Certainly, given that lack of clarity and precision, it would be very difficult to say what is the precise portion of the expenditure that went just for app creation and development versus integration of the application with existing systems within CBSA, training people, adaptation of those systems, building accessibility, looking at other security measures with respect to systems and the interface with the application. I would not have that precision.
