Sir, I would maybe provide this. If I can speak on behalf of the chief firearms officers, when we're talking about subsection 5(2), the very last part of subsection 5(2) before we get into the paragraphs says the CFOs “shall have regard for”. What we're talking about here are certain things that the CFO, in essence, must consider when making a determination of eligibility.
Prior to these amendments, that wasn't an exclusive list, “shall have regard” meaning they must consider these things. Subsection 5(1) of the act says, “A person is not eligible to hold a licence if it is desirable, in the interests of the safety”, so CFOs do more broadly look, and have always more broadly looked at eligibility to hold a licence beyond what we are currently talking about under subsection 5(2) right now.
When you speak about exclusions, CFOs will look at anything that is brought to their attention, which may make a person ineligible, according to subsection 5(1), “in the interests of safety”. I don't think there are any hard exclusions of things that they will not look at, if they believe they are relevant in the interests of safety.
