Thank you, Chair.
I thank the members for being here today.
I fail to understand the reasoning of my friends opposite when they talk about firearms. There's some sort of view that if you register a gun, it won't be used, and that's exactly wrong, and that's why the system didn't work and can't work.
I would like to look at some other areas, although related to firearms. There is $101 million in the budget, going forward, for arming border guards, and I know that a member opposite, who is not here, called border guards “wimps” because they walked off the job when they were threatened by people coming from south of the border with firearms.
I'm wondering if you could give us an update on where we are on arming the border guards.
