In southern Alberta there is a gentleman who is facing charges for the firearm for shooting who he suspected to be thieves endangering him and his family or his property. He is before the courts right now. I know we're not supposed to talk about things that are before the courts right now, but there is other evidence or examples of this in my constituency. There was a person about 10 years ago who did the same thing. He used a shotgun in defence of his family and his property, and he actually faced more charges than the people who came to steal from him in the first place.
In the process, before the determination of the court, whether they're using a section 34 or section 35 defence and whether that defence holds up or not, they're going to be in a process that's likely going to take several years to untangle throughout the judicial process. Would they get caught up in proposed paragraph 5(2)(c)?
