Mr. Speaker, my question is for the Prime Minister.
In 1995 the justice minister tabled a document titled “Financial Framework for Bill C-68” that projected a deficit of $2 million over five years for implementation of the gun registration scheme.
It is now five years later and the deficit is $320 million. That is 150 times larger than the deficit first projected.
What is responsible for this huge waste of money, the previous minister's ridiculous estimate or the current minister's mismanagement of the scheme?
