I think that would be a best practice.
Perhaps before firearms are sent for destruction, they should be recorded. They should not necessarily be traced, but perhaps recorded and test-fired and all of that great stuff.
I realize that now I'm making a suggestion that increases the mandate of the Canadian firearms program. In concert with that, I'd say you'd have to increase the resources allotted to the Canadian firearms program in order to meet that mandate.
Yes, I think it would be a best practice.
