Minister, earlier you talked, when you referred to past years when you sat on committee, about the gun registry and how aghast you were about costs spiralling out of control.
Your predecessor prioritized the introduction of hand guns, of revolvers, for all Canada Border Services agents. I understand there are about 5,000 agents who will carry hand guns. Initially, we were told it was going to cost about $180 million. Estimates now put it close to $1 billion. That is $200,000 per hand gun per Canada Border Services agent. Is that a good and effective—you said “effective”—use of money for Canada Border Services agents? That is $200,000 per agent with a gun.
