Perhaps our chairman would agree to making a request. I know that you are quite close to the Minister of Justice and to his immediate colleagues and it would be unfortunate if legislation were passed without our knowing the numbers. As the Gomery Commission's report stated, a parliamentary committee has to have convincing and conclusive facts to enable us to play our role as members of Parliament. If my colleagues agree, we could ask our chairman to request those numbers of the Minister of Justice. As you know, according to some rumours, the cost could be roughly $1 billion.
Could you nod your head if you think those rumours have any substance to them? A billion dollars, that's a lot. Do those rumours have any substance to them?
