Thank you for the question and thank you for aging me.
On a serious note, the technical specifications allow our regime—our Canadian firearms program—to monitor, manage and license firearms, including monitoring their import and export, etc. It also provides frontline police officers with the ability, when they're doing investigations, to ensure they have the facts and issues around prosecution and the laying of charges. Without specific technical specifications, a form of regulation and a framework of managing the specifications of firearms, it would be difficult for them to pursue various investigations that meet the current threshold in the Criminal Code of Canada.
Again, our firearms program is a unique licensing regime that many other countries look at. It provides that framework for frontline police officers and specialized investigators to do their work and to ensure that they actually have the ability to advance investigations.
