Mr. Robert Watt:
If we look back at every inquiry and commission of investigation we have ever undertaken, the work involved has been multiples of what was expected and the costs have been way in excess of what was anticipated at the time they were established. Looking back over the past 15 or 20 years, we have had many inquiries and tribunals and this has been the trend. The Comptroller and Auditor General has examined this in other cases in the past.
