Thank you, Madam Chair.
I just wanted to pick up on the suggestion that Ms. Nash just made. She said that if you renovate a house, you don't at the end of the day tear down the house because there was a cost overrun. Being a contractor before I came here, I do know those things do happen, so I certainly don't want to suggest that we would tear down houses. But if we install a skylight at the bottom of a roof or in the valley of a roof and it keeps on leaking, at some point we take the measures necessary and remove that skylight if it's put into an inappropriate place. Or if we do something that's wrong, we do what needs to be done.
I am concerned about the effectiveness of the program. Obviously there have been suggestions that the information in the registry isn't entirely accurate and that there are some major issues with the return mail. I know that in our office, even though we had correct addresses at election time, we're now finding that out of 500 letters I sent out recently, 25 came back. It took a day and a half for my staff to figure out where those people were currently living.
I'm concerned that if we have a database that's always in flux and that becomes more and more inaccurate as it ages, these costs are going to continue to skyrocket. Is there any provision in place, or a measure that's going to be taken, to ensure there are estimates of what it's going to cost to try to keep this registry up to date? That would be my first question.
