The Royal Commission on Aboriginal Peoples could cost up to $50 million, making it the most expensive commission in Canadian history.

Since it first began hearings in April 1992, the commission has spent more than $13 million, government documents revealed.

A spokesman for the royal commission said the federally sponsored research project examining the conditions of Native life in Canada could hit the $40 million mark, give or take a million, by the time it wraps up in early 1995.

Another $8 million will go towards funding witnesses, said Don Kelly.
