Minister of Border Security and Organized Crime Reduction

I can tell you that there has been a reinvestment by the government into the CBSA and the RCMP on a number of fronts. Certainly on the issue of border security, additional investments have been made in CBSA to provide them with access to those dogs—which, when properly trained, can be invaluable—but also access to other technologies, because that technology is advancing and we are making investments in that.

We've been working hard to restore the capacity, and I think about $74 million was invested in CBSA for that purpose.

Did I get that right, Tina? Was I close?
