Canadian A-G slams gun control costs

MONTREAL, Dec. 4 (UPI) -- Canada's Auditor General has slammed the government for failing to report what she termed excessive spending of taxpayers' money -- singling out the country's controversial gun control program. Sheila Fraser cited the billion-dollar federal gun registry project -- expected to cost $119 million -- as an example of government's "inexcusable failure" to publicly account for spending.
