Mr. Chair, the minister was in this room with Mr. Head on the Thursday saying that the cost of the bill was $40 million.

If he knew that information on the Thursday, why couldn't this committee and parliamentarians know that amount of money on the Tuesday, before we actually voted on Wednesday night and spent Canadian taxpayers' dollars without knowing what the cost was? Can you explain that to me?
