Thank you, Mr. Chair.

I'd like to thank the witnesses for joining us today and for giving their precious time to this committee.

My question is directed to Dr. Cukier.

In 2020, there were approximately 1.1 million registered handguns in Canada, a 74% increase since 2010. Why do you believe that minimizing the number of handguns in Canada will help to reduce firearm violence and keep Canadians safe?
