Thank you very much, Mr. Chair, and through you to the witnesses, thank you for appearing today.
Let me just do a little bit of recapping, because there seems to be some misunderstanding with regard to people involved in the witness protection program.
Generally speaking, is it not the case—short answers help get through the questions—that a police department operating in a province that has a witness protection program is responsible for most of the costs, as a matter of fact almost all of the costs, with the exception of the costs of the salaries of the federal government employees who are assisting them in obtaining federal government identification, etc.? Is that true, generally speaking?
