Mr. Speaker, the justice minister's Plans and Priorities report confirm that the firearms program will cost more than a billion dollars by 2005. However, in an unprecedented move, the minister tabled his estimates report with 105 blanks, so no one can tell how much it will really cost.
In December the Auditor General told the government to stop keeping Parliament in the dark.
Why is the minister's report to Parliament filled with blanks rather than facts and figures?
