That's why I find it entirely relevant, if we're trying to gain a perspective on where the opposition is coming from, to study what they were saying a few months ago when the Liberals wanted to double the mandatory minimum sentences to eight years and the NDP wanted to apply a four-year mandatory minimum sentence for all gun-related crime, which actually in fact goes beyond what this bill does. I did want to get that on the record. It's a little alarming, on this side, to see such a violent reaction that we would bring up what your position was so we can try to gauge what the final cost of this bill is going to be, that we might suggest we would take into account what your views are. We're working here in a cooperative fashion, so we need to take into account everyone's views, because at the end of the day, this bill will be framed by everyone's views.
I do appreciate your testimony and that any changes we make would ultimately impact on the bottom line that you've put forward.
Thank you.
