Thank you very much, Mr. Chair.

I would like to welcome the witnesses and thank them for their presentations.

I want to start with a quick question for the RCMP.

I, too, am in a border riding. Almost all irregular crossings are in my riding, in southern Quebec. I'm thinking of Hemmingford, Franklin, Dundee and Akwesasne.

Leasing helicopters costs the RCMP nearly $5 million. Is it planning to buy helicopters and stop leasing them?

See context to find out what was said next.
