Thank you.
I also have a question for you, gentlemen. I have figures here for 2007; so they are quite recent. According to the Criminal Intelligence Service Canada, in Saskatchewan and Manitoba, the majority of street gangs use sod-off long guns to commit crimes. In Quebec, Ontario and many other provinces, they tend to use handguns more often. Out in the Western provinces, where you are from, it is mainly sawed-off long guns.
I have to admit that I do not understand your logic, and I would like to understand it. You know full well that these registered long guns are not attractive to criminals, because they are registered. So, do you want almost seven million guns to be in circulation and in use, so that people don't have to go to the United States to buy them and saw them off? Do you think that will improve public safety in your province?
