I just want to follow on with questions on Ukrainian refugees. Did Mr. McCarthy say 135 people are in the unit, including people who have been seconded? None of us knew how long this war was going to last when it started last February. It was projected that there could be 200,000 Ukrainian refugees. What staffing complement was planned for the unit when the Department was set up as the lead Department? There are 135 staff currently.
We are at a little more than a quarter of what was projected as possible. What was the staffing complement?
