Thank you for outlining the work that I have been engaged with over the last six weeks and indeed right back to when we tabled this bill. I have heard loudly and clearly from Canadians from every walk of life, including from gun owners, first nations communities and Canadians, about what they expect out of this bill, which is smart gun laws.
You have asked me about maximum sentences. I have worked on the front lines of the criminal justice system as a federal prosecutor. I will tell you that I have confidence in the judiciary to exercise good judgment when it comes to making sure that we separate those gun traffickers from our communities when we need to do so—
