Thanks, Mr. Chair. I'll comment on a couple of the things Mr. Motz spoke about.
His amendment is limiting it to “A member of the immediate family of a person or a person who resides with that person”, so it's severely limiting who can go to court. While we did hear from women's organizations about red flags, I would point out that doctors came and were very supportive of it.
Halton Women's Place in my riding has women come to the shelter who are the spouses of police officers, so the option for them to go to the police is not an option. While I recognize that the police should be doing their job, these women are not comfortable calling the police, so we're leaving them without any tools to get that firearm taken out of the home. I recognize that other parties are not supportive of red flags, but I would point out that there are women who are in relationships and who can't rely on the police.
Mr. Motz, indigenous women are also subject to the section 7 right to life. I'll have more to say on that when we get to that particular amendment.
Thank you, Chair.
