Thank you, Mr. Chair, and thank you, Minister, again for being here. It's becoming a regular occurrence with the justice committee and now on this legislative committee. It's good to have you here with this bill.
Minister, could you just talk a little generally about some of the other stakeholder support for this bill? There's been a big call for this type of legislation on firearms offences from stakeholders in the community who are interested in protecting Canadians from gun violence. We hear all too often about gun violence, and in many cases involving people who had already had some interaction with the law.
I'm wondering if there's some comment from some provinces, mayors, that would lend support for this initiative.
