Well, I make the point that I'm not changing the rules. We are returning to the original situation with this technical amendment. My bill deals with the storage and transport requirements for these devices. It says that the current transport and storage would not apply to these devices, because they're clearly different from true firearms.
I do take at face value your individual support for the hunting, angling and outdoor community, but I would refer to two comments made by your colleagues from October of last year. Jean Crowder, the New Democrat member for Nanaimo—Cowichan, said that she supports—and this was dealing with the debate on Quanto's law—legislation in which “animals would be considered people and not just property”. The MP for Gatineau on the same day and in the same debate said that animals should be treated with “the same protection that we afford to children and people with mental or physical disabilities”. Why is this important? If those views were ever to get into law, that would be the end of all outdoor activity.
While I accept that you personally support them, I do not see the same view in your party.
