I have a question on the federal firearms act, $150,000. I thought this was supposed to be funded by the federal government under separate funding.

Madam Chair, the federal government is expected to reimburse us for the expenses we incur on this program. We have been saying that for about three years now. We have been going on good faith. We haven't reached any agreement yet, but that is the expectation and the way they have been conducting business with other governments. We need to put the money up front.

Madam Chair, in reference to the paragraph on the bottom, it says "Any shortfall between cost and fees collected is recoverable." Are we suggesting that we are now collecting fees under the Firearms Act? I understood that wasn't for a while yet.

There are fees associated with programs like this for licences and registration. These programs are expected and normally are covered by the money that is collected. Whatever is not covered by money that we collect by running these programs, the federal government will cover. Sometimes we provide for licences to be issued to people free of charge, sometimes based on different rationale. The federal government usually provides for the costs we incur in these areas.
