Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Let me address some of your facts and figures, sir.
The amount the government set aside and originally estimated for the arming customs officers and border officers was $781 million, which was set in 2006. That number has not changed since 2006, and I can assure you that the project to arm my officers is proceeding on course, on budget. There has been no spiralling of costs; the costs have remained constant since the original estimates were made.
