I think you're quite correct. There are positive results from the training program. Right now, the intention is that anyone who's looking to acquire a licence would have to go through the training program. It's not necessarily directed at people who have no intention of acquiring a firearm, but anybody in Canada, if they want, could conceivably take the training. Right now it is focused on people who are looking to be licensed to acquire firearms.
