That's another hypothetical situation. What we're talking about is hypothetical situations; you're absolutely right, assumptions.
It is obvious what the government's intent was in ending the long-gun registry. There's never been any question about that. Furthermore, these changes to the Ending the Long-gun Registry Act will help the government to fully realize this long-standing commitment, and that is really what this is about. The government will not accept this proposed amendment that is based on hypothetical situations and assumptions of the outcome of the investigation, and therefore this amendment should not and will not be supported.
