Thank you, Chair, and thank you to the witnesses.
Minister, just so you understand, we were limited in how many witnesses we could have. Those other four attorneys general would have liked to be here.
But I do have a question for you, Minister. I have a quote here that “a law registering firearms has neither deterred these crimes nor helped us solve any of them”. As well, “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.” That is a quote attributed to Julian Fantino, who was at the time Police Chief in Toronto, and who is now the Commissioner of the OPP.
Do you think he's changed his view?
