Thank you very much, Mr. Chair.
Thank you, Minister, Assistant Commissioner, and officials for being here.
I want to get right into the issue of cost. What we have found with the opposition, and it's kind of interesting...there's a bit of a pattern. The NDP support this particular bill, yet they were constantly talking about the fact that they think we need to put more money into the program. Interestingly enough, they don't support Bill C-42, for example, but they want more money for it. Even when the commissioner said we don't need more money and the independent chair of the complaints commission said we don't need more money, the NDP just want to keep throwing more money where it's actually not needed.
Can you please tell us very clearly, or the assistant commissioner could tell us, is there more money required when and if Bill C-51 passes?
