So hypothetically the Liberals put the 850 million or so from the gun registry, since to the best of my knowledge the auditor general said that it would "reach" 1 billion at current rates of spending in 2005. Hell, I will even say 1 billion since some reformer is going to come on here and cry that it is 1 billion. And the libs put the 250 million from adscam that the conservatives always quote. And the Liberals abolish the governor general with a national referendum that would cost 400 million, since the Charlottetown Accord basically created a convention that dictates that national decisions on costitutional matters. Where does the federal government find the 8 billion dollars a year to get military funding up to the level that conservatives desire. So far, I have found around 1.4 billion dollars tops to reach that level. The only solution that I can find is to raise taxes.
