Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I still don't understand the logic behind the fixed date. As my colleague very clearly explained, the bill will receive royal assent in early fall.
Here's an example. If I obtain a licence to possess and acquire a restricted firearm on July 5, when the act will not yet have come into force, and if I decide to buy a CZ 858 rifle, what will happen subsequently if the date fixed under the act is June 30? Will I be breaking the law?
I ask the representatives to explain to me what will happen if I buy a CZ 858 rifle on July 5.
