Thank you, and witnesses, thank you all for being here today. We really appreciate your time and input.
I do want to ask my first question of the RCMP, and then I want to go on to Mr. Astle. I want to further pursue privilege with you.
Let me put my first question to the RCMP. There is some concern that the long-gun registry was used by the RCMP members in High River to seize more guns. I have read the audit of the destruction of the data, and I have read the Civilian Review and Complaint Commission's report into the incident.
I'm satisfied that the long-gun registry was deleted as advertised. However, if information came to light that someone had illegally obtained and used gun registry data to seize firearms, would the legislation before us today stop them from facing the consequences?
