Thanks, Mr. Chair.
Thanks, Minister, for coming to the committee. I'm very pleased to hear that you're willing to work with the members of the committee and their recommendations. I certainly have a bit of difficulty when we don't agree with the commissioner's report.
Could we look at the reforms mentioned in the discussion paper from your department? It says that you're targeting approximately $120 million to implement this committee report. But we're not, right?
Canadians aren't hearing these numbers. Why are we hiding those numbers from them? They have been led to believe that this is a very straightforward exercise and that this is not going to cost the taxpayers anything. It is all magic, and the report will come into effect and the act will be in place.
How do you tell Canadians how much it's going to cost, and how will you manage that?
