—so I will accept that.
We had mentioned that this was deemed reported back if we didn't...and if we didn't do that, so we will accept that motion.
Any debate, or all in favour of that motion?

I see that you're quick. You're as quick as a firearm.
I just have an amendment, if possible. I would amend...because I do think that the minister, solely, is not enough. The parliamentary secretary talked about having discussed with stakeholders, and I would love to see who was consulted before they presented those regulations.
I do think there is a need, just to be on the safe side. I cannot believe that the government wants to wipe out a big, important factor for gun shops without hearing at least from the police association, or anybody from the CFOs, to see exactly what's happening. I don't think it's very prudent or wise or even “sane”, in some aspects.
I'm sorry for the word. It's not the word I'm looking for in English.
It is not very wise or reasonable. We can have another meeting to talk to a few other witnesses or have the list before we can make a decision.

I'm not sure if my friend is proposing an amendment to Ms. Hoeppner's motion, but if she is, I'm going to vote against it. We're not here to redebate Bill C-19. We're here to assess the regulations.
The legislation empowers the minister to pass regulations, and if that is, in fact, an amendment to Ms. Hoeppner's motion, I'll be voting against the amendment but in favour of the motion.

All right. All in favour of the motion simply to have this reported?

(Motion agreed to)
Before we adjourn, I want to wish all of you a very good summer. I encourage you to be around your constituents, and to be safe, and certainly to come back prepared to work again in the fall.
The meeting is adjourned.
