Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Thank you, Mr. Sullivan, for your attendance here this afternoon and for the good work you've done in your time as ombudsman for victims of crime.
Following up on my friend Mr. Kania's questions about the long-gun registry, I know there's significant debate around this table about the effectiveness of the long-gun registry, but I think there's less debate about the efficiency and the costliness of the registry.
So my specific question is, as an advocate for victims of crime, would you agree with my suggestion that the billions of dollars that have been spent on the gun registry might otherwise have been spent more beneficially on victims of crime?
