Thank you, Professor Franks.
Our motion had called for the government to provide this costing information according to Treasury Board costing guidelines. These are the guidelines that lead to costing for cabinet before legislation is tabled, as you know. These guidelines call for all related costs to all departments of government, and to provincial governments as well. Many of the 18 bills encompassed by our motion have significant provincial government costs.
Do you believe this information ought to be provided as well to this House, since it is covered under Treasury Board guidelines and the motion was specific in that regard?
