Okay.

We have talked about costs with the Minister of Public Safety and Emergency Preparedness. According to the information we have on our side, about 500,000 Canadians have been charged with simple possession of cannabis. The minister said that he expects 10,000 of them to apply for a pardon.

How do you explain the fact that only 10,000 people out of the 500,000 might apply for a pardon?
