Mr. Speaker, by 2012, the Conservative budget for prisons will have increased by 238%, and that is not all, as the cost of new measures is not included in that figure.
For one of these measures, projections have risen from $90 million to $2 billion. The minister refuses to disclose the total cost of his bill, if he knows it at all.
Why is the government not honest with Canadians? How many billions of dollars will their mega-prisons cost?
