Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Thank you, Minister, for appearing today.
My interest is also in the situation of reasonableness and reasoned force in the circumstances. I know that the use of force to protect property in one's possession is the current wording, but would a person be able to undertake self-defence by using a firearm? I know in the past, in some cases in Alberta, people have continuously come on property, and stolen personal property, and people have used firearms, shot in the air or shot around the people.
Would that be a reasonable use of defence in the circumstances?
