Thank you very much, Mr. Sopuck, for being here. You greeted me on the way in and said that you're just a farm boy, and of course I always have to respond to you that so am I. I'm one of those people who got a BB gun for Christmas as a kid, and I was taught all my gun safety lessons with a BB gun before moving on to, as I say, harder stuff.
So amidst all this saying that the NDP will bring out the gun registry, which it will obviously not, and all this swirling we're doing around this bill, I think there are a couple of very basic questions. One has to do with how kids learn gun safety. I raised this with you in debate in the House of Commons. I think a lot of kids learn gun safety the way I did, with weapons that are not licensed. I have trouble understanding why you would want to break that parallel of safe storage and transportation of guns, for instance, BB guns. Isn't it a good idea for kids to learn those good habits before they have higher velocity rifles to work with? Why would we break that and say it's okay to transport these one way and then when you get a licence and you get a real gun, you have to do it a different way? Isn't there some value in having those be parallel?
