We don't track how much we spend precisely on electronic monitoring because that budget is put in with the other activities around monitoring of conditions. However, I can tell you that we spend between $40,000 to $60,000 on contract: that's equipment, access to the vendor's website, and to get support when equipment breaks down. Last year, for example, the CBSA spent $1.2 million. That's for the entire monitoring-of-conditions unit, so it includes other activities besides electronic monitoring.
