I'll wrap up. As I said at the beginning, and nobody jumped in then, I was actually debating clause 1 as well as introducing my amendment. The point of this amendment is that this bill represents an increase in the risk of public safety in the disguise of ending the long-gun registry. And that's very unfortunate. There are an awful lot of people in this country, including law-abiding gun owners, who are quite happy to register their guns. They believe that's a part of the responsibility of being a gun owner. They are going to be disappointed that this whole approach has been taken.
We look to our national police force, I hope, for guidance on this. They talk about the proliferation of guns that are going to result. They talk about the unenforceability of the transfer proceedings. They talk about how this is going to decrease public safety and not increase public safety. I'm very disappointed to be a witness to this. I'm very disappointed we have not been able to persuade members opposite to accept any of these amendments that would in fact increase public safety. They seem to be blinded by some political motivation.
