Mr. Speaker, insofar as Citizenship and Immigration Canada,CIC,is concerned, this information is not maintained within CIC’s financial system. It was extracted from information disclosed in the proactive disclosure for travel and hospitality expenses, which is manually compiled from individual travel and hospitality claims at the end of each reporting quarter. Information about these travel and hospitality expenses can be found on our proactive disclosure website:http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/disclosure/expenses/menu-minister.asp.
