These charges of disinformation are often related to firearms identification. We are directly addressing the vague definitions that cover a very large number of hunting firearms. That's where we see an enormous problem in terms of the information being presented to the committee.
For example, at a meeting between the Minister of Public Safety and the Fédération québécoise des chasseurs et pêcheurs, we asked Mr. Mendicino a very specific question. We asked him whether the government, when it targets centrefire semi-automatic weapons with a detachable magazine, classifies them in terms of magazines available in Canada or higher-capacity magazines marketed in other countries.
Mr. Mendicino's press secretary sent us an email confirming that if a Browning-BAR or a Remington 742 Woodmaster were sold here with a 3‑round magazine, it would meet the definition and be legal, whereas one available in the United States with a 7-round or 10-round magazine would be illegal under the definition.
That's not disinformation, but rather data provided in response to questions we ask the people in government who implemented the provisions.
