As I already mentioned, there is nothing in the bill in that regard. This is simply a power the government is giving itself to ensure that there will be a certain uniformity, if it needs that power. The federal government recognizes that for the firearms officers there are variations among the regions, and that is part of the program. The purpose is not to limit the discretionary power of chief firearms officers, but simply to be able to, if need be, ensure the uniform application of some measures. There is nothing in the bill in that regard for the moment. And so it is difficult for me to comment on how the chief firearms officers' power could be affected.
