On that basis, Mr. Chair, I would submit that G-4, in adding a great number of firearms to the list of government-prohibited firearms, would affect the financial impact on the Crown, because the cost to buy back these millions of new firearms would be a massive cost to taxpayers.
I would argue that it's out of the scope of the committee because it does offend the financial prerogative and would require a royal recommendation. It is out of scope because it would have a massive impact on the financial cost to the Crown.
