Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I'd like to reply to my colleague about the Prime Minister's message on Twitter. It was indicated clearly by the people in our embassies throughout the world, that as soon as that tweet was sent, all hell broke loose for those who had to answer questions.
I'd like to get back to the Canada Border Services Agency representatives.
Mr. Ossowski, I put a question to the minister earlier concerning the fact that people say that the Conservatives reduced the CBSA budget by $300 million. However, I have a report here that says the opposite. There were indeed budget cuts to administrative services, but I don't think there were any to field operations. In fact, the figures I have here show that there was an increase in the budget for field operations, which went from $1.7 billion in 2012-2013 to $2 billion in 2014-2015. Afterwards, the new government made budget cuts.
Can you confirm that what the ministers have been saying is inaccurate? Do the figures correspond to what I just said?
