He didn't know! Let me repeat that. He said He Didn't Know Why The Firearms Registry had cost overruns. And that he was going to have the Auditor General look into it.
But she already has. And as I wrote in 2004 during the last election, it's because they contracted out the computer hardware, software and programing and the call centre.

The real story behind the cost overruns at the Canadian Firearms Centre
"Just read your piece on the firearms P3 – quite a revelation. I am amazed we have never heard this before – congratulations for bringing it to light." Murray Dobbin, author of Paul Martin Canada's CEO
And the costs increased because the provinces like Alberta copped out of paying their share. It's already documented not only by the Auditor General of Canada but by a third party audit of the Justice Department.
And as the opposition Justice critic Toews knows this. So taking a cue from his leader, Toews lied on national TV. And like his leader he is thinking of using American style politics to eliminate the gun registry through the back door of cabinet.
