Okay.
Mr. Chair, these amendments should not be supported. The government's intent in the ending of the Long-gun Registry Act is to ensure the long-gun registry is destroyed. These changes to the Ending the Long-gun Registry Act would help the government to fully recognize this long-standing commitment.
In regard to PV-50, the government made known its intent to destroy the long-gun registry records on the date the Ending the Long-gun Registry Act was tabled, being October 25, 2011.
In regard to PV-52, we have the same reasons that this should not be supported. The government intends in clause 231 to ensure that the crown and the crown servants do not face potential liability for carrying out the will of Parliament to destroy the long-gun registry records required in subsections 29(1) and 29(2) of the Ending the Long-gun Registry Act, nor should they face potential liability for actions they may have taken during the period when the Access to Information Act and the Privacy Act would have been understood to have applied.
