In reality, we heard from witnesses who made it very clear that the RCMP is not the only expert on firearm classification. In order to ensure that there is a robust process.... Unilateral classification by the RCMP alone has historically been fraught with issues over the years.

We're here to represent them, and not for some other partisan purpose.
