Mr. Speaker, it is my understanding that the government has set aside $207 million to implement the bill. Certainly that would have allowed for a lot of innovation and intervention programs on behalf of the government had it cared to cost share those programs with the provinces.
Certainly if we look at the comment I made earlier on the Saskatchewan justice minister saying that at least $10 million will be required by the province of Saskatchewan, which has a fairly low population in comparison to the rest of the country, then an horrific and astronomical amount of money will have to be coughed up.
It will not be completely cost shared by the federal government so the province of Quebec will face huge costs. The province of Ontario and all other provinces will face huge legal bills.
