Thank you, Ms. Kelly.

My next question is for the people from the Canada Border Services Agency.

The budget has increased by $500 million or more. Will these funds be used deal with the backlog of 50,000 removals? These are people who came to Canada and were denied asylum, among other things. It is the job of the CBSA to remove them, but it is unable to do so.

Will this money help the CBSA do that?
