Thank you, Chair.
We had an extremely frustrating meeting last meeting, in that we were two and a half hours discussing the amendment that I put forward and numerous other things that are not even part of this bill. I am hopeful that today we'll be able to move a little more efficiently. There are really important things in this bill beyond the amendment—colleagues know that—when it comes to police services, access to ghost guns, instances of gender-based violence, prohibition orders and also increasing the sentences for firearms offences that are listed to organized crime.
We have 146 to 150 amendments in front of us here today. I hope that for a number of them, we can go through them fairly quickly. I'm hoping we can be efficient and get through this at a relatively quick pace.
I will leave it there right now, Chair, until we hear from some of our colleagues and see how the meeting's going to go today.
