Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I thank Monsieur Fortin for sitting in on this committee today.
We can't support this amendment, because we are coming forward with a more comprehensive amendment that would better define what a military-style assault weapon is. While we are supportive of the concept, I think our amendment—which we will get to, at some point—is more comprehensive and would provide a better definition than this.
I appreciate the spirit of where this is coming from and the work the Bloc is doing on this issue, but we won't be able to support this particular amendment. I also think it would mean that our amendment, which is coming up later, would not be able to be moved.
