Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Minister Toews, I want to thank you personally for your persistent support for those like me in our caucus who stand against the long-gun registry.
Bill C-391 and C-19 are both straightforward bills that end the requirements for individuals and businesses to register non-restricted, non-prohibited firearms. I was concerned this morning when I read media reports of an analysis done by officials. A certain official thought that both C-391 and C-19 could have a number of unintended consequences, including the trafficking of firearms at the border.
I was concerned about this report. Is it accurate? Can you comment on this official's opinion?
