Citizenship and Immigration committee Okay. Minister, you indicated that the department advertised in approximately 100 ethnic media outlets at a combined cost of a million dollars. Correct?

I noticed that on page 56, under transportation and communication, you have spent $3,245,000. Does this figure include the advertising done by the department with respect to part 6 of Bill C-50?

Citizenship and Immigration committee I can give you a copy, Minister, if that helps you. You don't have a copy of your own estimates, Madam Minister?
