I just want my colleagues across the way to be aware that, when this bill comes into force, without this amendment, some prominent Canadian who has been a lifetime firearms owner will get caught up in a check and will be denied a licence. It will make a headline, and those responsible for not accepting this amendment will have to wear it. I can see a first nations leader, a veteran, or somebody like that getting caught up in this.
This is a very reasonable amendment. I'm not sure why it's not being accepted.
