We will.
It's wonderful to be here with you all today.
I want to go back a bit to when you put in the order in council, in 2020, following the horrific shooting in April that we saw in Nova Scotia, and also seeing the horrific incidents that are happening in your communities, such as in downtown Toronto, as well as Montreal.
I'm very concerned, though, because we talk about this gun buyback and we say, “Here's the order in council; we're taking away these guns.” However, I notice that a lot of times we talk about violence against women involving firearms and I'm very concerned, because sometimes I think we're selling people a bill of goods that we're going to fix this if we do that.
I'm going to start very simply. In 2018 there were just under 600 victims of police-reported intimate partner violent incidents where a firearm was present, up from 401 in 2013. What is being done to ensure that firearms are not in play when it comes to domestic and intimate partner violence?
