# In December 2002, a preliminary audit by the Auditor General of Canada revealed that the Department of Justice was estimating the gun registry program would cost more than $1 billion by 2004-05, and collect about $140 million in fees. The Auditor General noted that this estimate did not include all financial impacts on the government

This was an estimate from 2002. They were right about it not including all of the costs.

As for the war in Iraq, in terms of percentage overrun, I would say that the Canadian estimate was further from the actual expenditure.
