Thank you for your question.
I have to admit that, like the minister, I also get a lot of letters and requests for meetings. However, we've started the consultations. We're basing our analysis on international examples. England, in particular, has a good system that seems to work. I can't tell you right now what the final result will be, but I can confirm that we're talking to the associations. We're also trying to speak with our colleagues at the Canada Border Services Agency and the RCMP since sometimes there are operational enforcement issues.
We also want to ensure that our recommendation to the minister is well balanced and takes into account all factors, particularly with regard to the industry. There are all these examples, in the United States and England, where there have to be two distinct colours. For example, it may be decided that a particular type of gun must have a pink tip. In many cases, however, the industry may also start producing real firearms that look like those that are subject to the proposed changes, which we feel is another challenge.
These are aspects that we're analyzing. I can't give you a firm answer because we're still at the information gathering stage. However, we're constantly talking to industry people and colleagues who will be responsible for enforcing the act.
