Thank you, Mr. Chair, and thank you to the witnesses for being here.
I prepared a whole list of questions, but I am not going to ask any of those as my first one because, Vice-Chief Bear, you said something in your opening remarks that really stuck with me, and I'd like you to expand on it a bit, if you could, please. I've written it down here as a quote. You stated, “when you confiscate guns, you are doing a whole lot more than just taking away a gun.”
Could you expand on that and what you meant by it?
