I would suggest that in respect of proposed subsection 147.1(3), with the header “Application of order”.... Ultimately, does it really make any difference? It requires an exercise of discretion on the part of the person imposing the prohibition order as to whether or not he or she considers that the person should be allowed to have a weapon. It could have been framed the other way around, but substantively I suggest it really doesn't make any difference. It still requires a judgment to be made, Mr. Chair.
