I'm going to speak to CPC-6 and CPC-7 now in the interest of time. There's nothing in the act that precludes you from owning a firearm even when they do look back for your lifetime. We're having regard to it, so it's taken under consideration. I had a constituent call me with that very question. I checked on it to ensure that when you're looking back for a lifetime, it's something that's considered. It doesn't preclude you from owning it.
Whether it's 20 years or 50 years, I suspect my colleagues on the other side would speak quite differently. I hear them often talking about returning ISIS fighters after 20 years. I'm glad to see that you now believe in rehabilitation and that type of thing, but I'm just saying it doesn't preclude you from owning it. So, whether it's 10 years, 20 years, or 50 years, which is the next amendment.... In effect, I think it's very important to look at it for a lifetime, and then the decision will be made as to whether or not that person should have a firearms licence.
We won't support this amendment and we won't be supporting CPC-7 either, because I think a lifetime is the appropriate time. I know that my colleagues here agree, and then the decision can be made based on that.
