Well, I'm not a lawyer, but what I've looked at in terms of the 1977 legislation, the 1995 legislation, and this legislation is that in 1977 there was an explicit requirement. It was done away with in the Firearms Act, because the registration process obviated the need to maintain this document that no longer exists.
As a result, because this bill is silent on the need for store owners and gun sellers to maintain documents such as this—or an electronic database in the current age, which would be the equivalent of this—our conclusion is that in fact Canada will have less information about gun sales than the United States of America does, and that we will no longer meet our international obligations.
