Thank you. That's a very good point.
In the report that I tabled in the House of Commons in April, the costs are outlined in annex 1. Adding institutions is $40 million to $45 million annually; the public register is more than $60 million annually; universal access is about $5 million annually; the duty to document decisions, essentially, would be another $7 million annually; a time limit for investigations would create another $4 million annually; and other proposals that we've been able to identify on a tentative basis are $5 million annually. So the total estimate is more than $120 million annually. When added to the present base cost of $50 million, we're looking at $170 million on an annual basis.
So this is not cheap. This comes at a very big cost that we need to consider. That's why I put it in the report, immediately, so that people are under no illusions when it comes to that issue. So we're mindful of it, and I thank you for bringing it to the attention of the people of Canada, specifically, in these hearings.
