Oh, all right. That's a good answer.
Now I'm going to speak to Mr. Kirton, who I'm very much interested in.
Mr. Kirton, we're talking about costs of approximately $1 billion, but we aren't that sure, because not all the accounts have yet been put on the table. This isn't bingo money here, but rather that of ordinary citizens.
We're talking about an artificial lake that cost $1.9 million. I'd like to know what security purpose that serves. We're talking about $123 million for foreign affairs. There was $4,600 for dinners. That's what's called serious eating. For 24 table settings, the figure given was $11,000. But there weren't 200 people, but rather 24. We also see the sum of $2,000 for pins and $3,000 for woolen shawls.
Mr. Kirton, the construction of washrooms and a look-out some 20 kilometers away from the summit cost $300,000. We're talking about upgrading an old steam boat at a cost of $400,000. However, the boat was not even ready for the G8 and G20 summits. Don't you think all that's a bit excessive?
If I add up all these minor items, that comes to a total of $1 million. You know what can be done with $1 million in a society? You can help people eat and sleep in decent housing. You can contribute to the Guaranteed Income Supplement for seniors. Do you know how much money we need? And you're telling me that's acceptable?
