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.
