When I submit a $100 expense to the taxpayers of Canada, I have to sign off on it. When our public servants—the same ones who were affected so severely and work so hard for us—submit a tiny expense within their departments, they have to sign off on it, but nobody signed off on what appears to be at least a $500 million miss, which go much, much higher by the time we're done. I think we're talking about expenses in the neighbourhood of $1 billion to get the system up and running to the satisfaction of what officials hoped it would be be able to do at the outset.
