I heard a statistic. I think it was Ms. Young who said that—and correct me if I'm wrong, Ms. Young—only 9% of women are killed by guns. Was it? I shouldn't be asking you questions; I should be asking the witness questions.

According to the RCMP's 2002 data, 71% of spousal homicides involve rifles and guns. How do you reconcile these figures?
