Mr. Chair, not only are thousands of Canadians unfairly impacted by the government's firearms ban, but many small and local businesses who probably rely on the income from the legal sale of firearms, ammunition and accessories will be impacted. One of my constituents who owns one of these businesses is expecting to see a 25% drop in sales because of such a ban. Can the minister explain how this government is going to support the businesses that will experience such a large financial loss from existing inventory and future sales as a result of this decision?
