I welcome the opportunity to share with the member and all Canadians the clarification that the Canadian firearms program has already provided. There are standards for the ammunition and armaments. There are manufacturer-instituted standards that are applied, and it's very clear, and the Canadian firearms program has made it explicitly clear, that 10- and 12-gauge shotguns are not included in this prohibition. All people who were concerned about that need not be concerned.
