Thank you, Madam Chair.
Minister, every department is experiencing budget cuts. In fact, your Prime Minister has asked all ministers to reduce spending in their departments. However, here we have a bill that would add between 150,000 and one million applications to be processed. That's not counting the 1,095 days of residence we talked about earlier, which also needs to be verified. It seems to me to be a rather tedious task, ultimately, with what we've learned today.
Do you have the resources? You're already behind the processing times in all the other programs, but now one is going to be added. It's fine if you have the necessary resources, but I think more resources are needed.
Have you calculated the administrative costs of implementing Bill C‑3, as well as the number of additional people it will take?
