Basically, if an offence has occurred or a FIP is generated, it would be sent to the chief firearms officer of the jurisdiction where the individual resides. The CFO would look at the nature of that offence. In conjunction with that, he or she would look at, potentially, previous incidents that may have occurred, to establish whether the single offence merits more consideration, or if it is relatively minor, or if that offence needs to be looked at in conjunction with previous offences.
For example, if the offence were deemed to be relatively minor but it is an offence that has been repeated over multiple years, then we are seeing a pattern of behaviour. In that case, the entire pattern of behaviour would be taken into consideration. If the singular offence were significant enough—let's say it involved domestic violence of sorts or certain egregious violence—then the CFO may need to only look at that singular incident to make a determination of eligibility.
If it is determined that the individual is not eligible to own a firearms licence or should not be eligible to own a firearms licence—and I make that decision, because if the court issues a prohibition order, it's not really the decision of the CFO. If the CFO determines that the offence is such that the individual, in the context of public safety, shouldn't hold a firearms licence, he or she would revoke the licence. The individual would then have the ability to challenge that decision at a reference hearing. If they were unsuccessful, they would lose their firearms licence.
