Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Thank you, again, to our officials for your patience.
Concerning the definition based on this new proposed subsection 84(1)—and I read that before I came here today—what you're striking out is a firearm that is not a handgun and that discharges centerfire ammunition in a semi-automatic manner, which are hunting rifles and shotguns. It was originally designed—and I've heard from the RCMP, Ms. Paquette, the specifications of what originally designed means—with a detachable cartridge magazine with a capacity of six cartridges or more, and is designed and manufactured on or after the date on which this paragraph comes into force.
That is a potential definition.
Can our experts and those who are legislative assistants look at this particular one? Does this fit the definition or fit the moniker that has been placed on the demand of this government that they ban military-style assault firearms? Does this definition fit what you would commonly think was a military-style assault firearm?
