Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Thank you for coming, Minister.
I appreciate all the times you have come before our committee and that you seem to have watched the testimony we're having at committee.
I agree with you that it has been compelling testimony, and some of the testimony you mentioned today has been strong. However, you have been cherry-picking the testimony. We have seen overwhelming testimony from law enforcement and community activist groups, which are doing the great work in the communities you talked about, and a number of victims rights groups, who said that your government's proposed mandatory gun buyback from law-abiding firearms owners is the least effective and most expensive policy you can take.
What do you say to that, Minister?
