Thank you, Mr. Chair.

I'll continue on the same topic.

Mr. Larkin, you said it was quite hard to gather data on airsoft guns and to determine how they might present a threat.

My questions will be for the representatives of the Department of Public Safety and Emergency Preparedness.

Have you provided the government with data or statistics indicating that replica guns have been used to commit violent crimes so the government can decide whether to prohibit them? What's the justification for prohibiting them?
