Mr. Chairman, through you to the minister, I want to put a scenario to you that happened in this very building about three weeks ago. We were here on a Tuesday examining the bill that would end accelerated parole. We had your deputy minister here and asked how much that bill would cost. She said she couldn't tell us; it was a matter of cabinet confidence. That was on the Tuesday.
On the Wednesday, parliamentarians went in and voted at third reading. We voted on that bill and it was passed without knowing what the cost was. On the Thursday, you and Mr. Head were again in this room, and you told us that the cost was $40 million.
