Kristina Michaud at the Public Safety and National Security Committee

I would like to thank Mr. Lloyd for his question.

I would just remind him that the definition is prospective. It is therefore false to say that it will lead to the prohibition of hunting rifles, because it will apply to firearms that don't yet exist.

I would also remind him that this is the definition proposed by the Nova Scotia Mass Casualty Commission. This commission has done tremendous work and we have every reason to believe that its proposals are sound.
