In closing, I would like to specifically address Bill C-48, which is intended to allow judges to refuse parole before an inmate has served 25 years in prison. A costing was necessarily prepared in relation to this bill. Yet the Minister says that he didn't want to provide that information because it was too uncertain. If I understood what you said, the decision not to disclose the cost of the bill was the Minister's. That costing does exist somewhere.
