Yes, it's very brief. I'll take us to four o'clock.
First of all, thank you, MP Norlock, for bringing this bill forward. You represent the riding just to the south of mine, and I'm very proud to speak of this bill in my riding, the home of the Ontario Federation of Anglers and Hunters.
I know that you have a long history in this. I know that you were also a long-serving police office in our provincial police, and I wanted to ask you something. Obviously there's no question that outdoor groups across the country support this measure, and I wouldn't support any changing of the bill, because I believe this is what you want to recognize. I think it's important. There are a lot of outdoor activities like surfing and snowboarding that don't speak to this heritage, so I think it's important that you keep the name of the bill the way it is. You have a unique perspective on things, having served for a long time as a police officer and also having this background in hunting and fishing.
I also know that you served on the public safety committee. I remember that long before I was elected there were a whole lot of bumper stickers going around that said, “Remember Bill C-62 When You Vote”. Obviously that was something that really divided the outdoors community. Can you speak a little bit to your experience? I know that you voted to end the long-gun registry specifically. Do you see that as something that's alienated this specific group in society, this traditional heritage group?
