Okay, thank you.

In your opening remarks, you also mentioned that you would support a buyback program for firearms that become prohibited. Did you mean assault rifles, handguns or both? I know the government has promised to create a buyback program for military-style assault rifles, but nothing's been announced for handguns. Let's not forget that Bill C‑21 was originally about handguns.

Are you envisioning a buyback program that would cover both assault rifles and handguns?
