OTTAWA — The first version of Canada's new electronic passport carries a hefty price tag -- an ominous sign that the general version being issued late next year might cost triple or more what Canadians pay today.

250 bucks for a passport ?

They had better do it for at least 10 years then.

Harper purchased four diplomatic ePassports for himself, his wife and two children late last year, at $225 each, for a total bill of $900.

Ouch. Seeing how the paper version has been working fine for me all these years I think I'll pass.

Even though Harper paid a small fortune for his, I'm sure once the process is geared up and ready for mass-production, both costs and prices will come down.

The first few of any product are always more expensive than existing products - that's the way of the world.
