Thank you.
Thank you very much, Mr. Walsh, for being here today.
As you know, the finance committee has requested from the government the costs of 18 of its U.S.-style prison bills. The government claims that this information is covered by cabinet confidence and they have refused to comply with the House order to provide Parliament with the costs and the breakdown of these costs.
Are cost projections covered by cabinet confidence once legislation has been tabled by the government and legislation has been introduced to the House of Commons?
