Yes, thank you, Mr. Chairman.
It was brought to our attention by the Auditor General a little while ago about the unrecorded liability that was reported in the Public Accounts of Canada dealing with the gun registry and whether they had actually exceeded the estimates approved by Parliament. They got themselves a simple little legal opinion that said yes, I'm afraid you did exceed the estimates approved by Parliament and you had better go back and ask them for some more money. Then they got a long, convoluted legal opinion to say that perhaps they didn't need to ask Parliament for supplementary estimates.
Of course it ended up being recorded in the public accounts as an unrecorded liability. Now, that's an oxymoron if there ever was such a thing.
