Well, I disagree with your statement, sir, because you may be aware.... I think it is a good thing, when introducing legislation that has not been revisited for more than 30 years, for Canadians to understand how the system works.
The fact of the matter is, regarding the classification, that neither the experts at Public Safety—and we have these experts at Public Safety—nor am I involved in the classification process; nor is Parliament. That's why we need to fix this, and it's the reason that we have tabled this legislation, so that we can eventually be involved in a review mechanism to correct mistakes that have occurred, such as the one for the CZ and the Swiss Arms rifle. I can assure you this morning that, had I been empowered to intervene to avoid this mistake, I would have been very glad to do so. But now, as you see, we don't have a mechanism. That's why we had to go through an amnesty process, first for possession, and then we had to have an amnesty process for use.
But as we speak, some of those firearms are still considered prohibited. Obviously we need to fix this, and that's why this legislation is in front of us, to make sure that Parliament can correct mistakes. I believe Canadians expect us to have this capability to correct mistakes based on the advice of experts.
