I'm comparing the 2020-21 numbers to the 2021-22 numbers, though. From 2020 to 2021, of course that's well into the pandemic in terms of the fiscal year. Then we have, I would assume, more people making passport applications in 2022—that's certainly the sense we got in our constituency office—yet we're spending less.
I don't know if you have an answer for that or just speculation, but the speculation doesn't seem to line up with what was happening.
