Thank you.
I won't be supporting NDP-1.
The intent of this bill was two-fold. One was to reduce red tape for law-abiding firearms owners. The other was ensuring greater capacity for public safety.
A number of things within the bill were directly related to that. This one here that you're proposing would actually remove the requirement for someone to take that course. We believe it is in the interest of public safety and, therefore, I will not be supporting this amendment.
