Thank you.
My next question is along the same lines.
In response to questions from the opposition—mine in particular—the Prime Minister told the House, a few times, that he used the so-called Liberalist database, the infamous list of Liberal Party members and donors, but only after the candidates had made it through the other steps in the selection process. As far as he is concerned, it's an acceptable practice.
Obviously, I won't try today to determine whether it was acceptable to do things that way or not. What I'm interested in is how much that part of the process costs.
Can you tell me what the cost of conducting Liberalist checks on candidates is?
