I can tell you that on a daily basis it costs us approximately $200 to $250 a day to house our immigration detainees. We house them in three immigration holding centres that are administered by the CBSA, and we also rely on the provinces to house our high-risk population or to house our low-risk population in areas of the country where we don't have an immigration holding centre.
