This week, the Auditor General reported a number in excess of $19 million to GC Strategies.

When you've appeared at committee, the other number offered by parliamentarians in questions to you was about $11 million. CBSA never corrected parliamentarians or offered that this number was incorrect in verbal or written submissions.

Why is the number the Auditor General is offering this week, which is in excess of $19 million, not the number that CBSA officials, including yourself, gave to committee in their testimony at numerous appearances across numerous committees?
