Love to go on but I'll just say this about it and not post anymore.

1) Sorry the math was not clear. Calculate based on 400 000 interviews annually by your preferred workers who bill $405k/a (which is the number given to the artbitrator by the Ontario government). Your idea, not mine. Consider that it may take an hour to conduct the interview and write up the report, and don't expect any doctor to sign anything too specific in terms of risk level, so there is going to be a lot of highly qualified language. You will get a number that is around $100mm for labour alone. Now consider that this is a government program related to firearms, and look up what the long gun registry was projected to cost versus what it actually cost the taxpayer. Consider that the lowliest clerk in the RCMP who will be filing all these reports is costing $100k with pension plan and benefits. Anyone who would be qualified to evaluate the report (and basically nobody who works for the police is qualified, so it is hypothetical) is costing $200k. $200mm/a is in the ballpark for your program, and it would almost surely end up higher.

2) Public perceptions of the risk of violence associated with mental illness are overstated. If you do a google scholar search, there are about 900 000 papers all saying similar things. These people are unable to get out of bed, they are not hurting anybody.

3) It is deeply stigmatizing to mentally ill people to talk the way you are talking. Please look into it more deeply.

4) There are 50 000 problems in this country, but firearms violence by licensed people ain't one. If we want to spend money on mental health, I could give you a hundred ideas based on my experience as a volunteer. An expensive Orwellian forced-interview program, run by the fine people who brought you High River, is not one of them.
