I appreciate that.
Mr. Chair, if I have time left, I'd like to share it with my colleague, Mr. Rathgeber.
Mr. Mukherjee, you're from the Metro Toronto Police Commission. We've met before, and I appreciate your being here. One of your former chiefs and the current commissioner of the OPP said:
...a law registering firearms has neither deterred these crimes nor helped us solve any of them. None of the guns we know to have been used were registered...the money could be more effectively used for security against terrorism as well as a host of other public safety initiatives.
Would you have agreed with Chief Fantino when he made that statement?
