In respect to the first question, about whether or not it would be covered by provincial legislation, we did not examine that particular aspect in the performance of our audit work, so I would not know whether or not a provincial plan would cover such a cost.
The fee itself is $5 for a gram of dried marijuana or $20 for a pack of 30 seeds. That's the fee that's established in accordance with the arrangements.
In our audit, we simply looked at the issue of how the costs for a particular fee in this particular case related to the particular sources of revenue, to determine whether or not the department had a good understanding of the costs. What we identified was that there was not a good understanding of the costs at the time to meet the increased demand to have the fees set and the product delivered. It was only when our audit began that the department undertook a study of the costs in relation to the fee and produced a consultant's report that indicated that the fees at that time were in excess of what they needed.
