Let me put it this way. Every year from 2000 to 2006 I sat here in opposition listening to the government of the day tell me how the costs were spiralling out of control. Quite frankly, they were spiralling out of control. Estimates on what we've spent on the long-gun registry are anywhere from $1 billion to $2 billion.
Was that an effective use of money? No, it was not an effective use of money. I believe that anything that the long-gun registry could accomplish could be accomplished in a much more effective way through the appropriate licensing system, and that's what we're committed to doing.
