I agree. Thank you. I appreciate that.

Ms. MacDougall, we've heard testimony—and I knew this before we had this study—that the Canadian firearms program currently doesn't contact every reference when completing a firearms licence application. You have to put down your spouse or your common-law partner or even past spouses, and they have to consent to your receiving a firearms licence.

Does it concern you that the Canadian firearms program has the tools to call these references to ask if they have concerns, but 90% of them are not being called, as one witness stated?
