Consultant fees, they probably didn't tender it well either.

Public safety has full time staff that apparently work on this part of the portfolio, so it's mostly government inefficiency and wasted time.

It's an easy way for them to send some money to their friends and return some favors, they dont give a flying fuck about Canadians.

The next dirty trick will be to tax firearms and ammo with a new fee on top of sales tax as well as increase licensing costs.

We'll essentially be funding our own demise.
