Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Mr. Martin, to follow up on the line of questioning from Mr. Ménard earlier, when he asked you about the cost of shutting down the long gun registry, your answer is you cannot quantify because it's complicated. Yet for a long time, since the minister appeared before this committee, both to the media and again today in a statement to this committee, he claimed millions of dollars will be saved--hundreds of millions of dollars.
Did you give that number to the minister, or did the minister pull that number out of the air himself?
