I am aware, but when a department asks for $2 million for a gun registry, and then keeps asking for more, and more and more and more until the cost balloons up to $1 billion, and no questions are asked, one has to wonder what the Finance Minister and his staff are doing.

Which federal department did the Gun Registry fall under? Department of Justice? The RCMP? Isn't it possible that a civil servant in whichever department administers the Gun Registry kept reallocating money from within the departmental budget rather than requesting additional funding?
I'm not saying that's the case...I really don't know. Wasn't it just as much a surprise to the Liberals as it was to everyone else when the auditor revealed just how overbudget the gun registry had become?
