Mr. Speaker, I think the member would likely agree that such a bill—one that changes so many measures and creates an obligation to monitor these individuals—will cost money.
After the costs are assessed, we are left with two options: the government either passes the bill onto someone else or it pays for these changes.
If these costs are not included in any programs, has the government decided what it will do? Will the provinces be left to foot the bill or will the government pay for these changes?
