Yes, and you are not here as Attorney General, because that's a different function that you also occupy.
I also wanted to mention something, since it came up and it seemed to be a universal claim.
Police officers in my riding and across Quebec will take part in this effort to collect firearms. Not all police officers in the country are against that.

We were both elected in 2015, and it sounded to me a bit like there was a claim that the principle of restraint and the ladder principle somehow arrived in Canada with Bill C-75. These are both concepts long rooted in the common law tradition. Is that correct, Minister?
