Mr. Speaker, since the minister did not answer my second question, I would like to put the same question to the hon. member for Waterloo—Wellington and ask him what this $350 million tab he referred to is all about, as this seems to be how much it would cost to implement this firearm registration system. Is that right? I would really like to get an answer on this today. If this amount is accurate, then the public must be made aware of the costs involved. And how did they get to be so high?
I would also like to know whether this high tab would eventually make the system impossible to implement and result in Quebeckers being told “Sorry, but unfortunately the system was too expensive to be implemented.” Is this a roundabout way to avoid enforcing the legislation?
