We have officials in the room who are the ones who know what is going on the best in terms of the specific content. We have an opportunity to ask them questions. I think it's important that we avail ourselves of the opportunity, given that they are here sitting at 6:32 in the evening. We should take advantage of that.
Again, I would invite all to ask those questions. I do want to make one very important point to everybody who is watching this and following this. We've heard a lot of rhetoric about how people are coming after things like the Lee–Enfield. I want to be very clear about something. There are four elements to the technical definition. One is that it is not a handgun. Two is that it discharges centrefire ammunition in a semi-automatic manner. Then it's that it has a detachable cartridge with the capacity of six cartridges or more, and it is designed and manufactured on a day after this paragraph comes into force.
It is important that we not mislead people into thinking that something is happening that is not. I don't want to say much more than that, but if we're going to have thoughtful debate on these amendments, let's ground those conversations in facts because Canadians deserve that. If we're going to move forward on doing good gun legislation together, people need to be working from the truth.
