Can I just tell you, then, that this cost-benefit analysis is something we should think in terms of, rather than necessarily having the numbers. When I was in the House I approached Allan Rock, who had just introduced the bill on the long-gun registry, and I said to him, “I'm in a serious dilemma. I would like to vote for the bill, but I need to know rationally how many lives would be saved per million dollars, or how many millions of dollars it will cost to save one life as a result of this calculation.” He told me, “You will have this calculation”. It never came forward. I believe if we had honestly considered the cost that it turned out to be, we would have saved that very divisive legislation that we have gone through, the history of which you are all familiar with.
Thank you.
