It has to do with the automatic revocation of licences. The original proposal as it was in Bill C-21 was to define which protection orders, because not all of them.... Some of these, as my colleague was speaking of, are outside the Criminal Code and in provincial courts. It was to look at what protection orders were the ones that were related to domestic violence, intimate partner violence and gender-based violence in which an automatic revocation of a firearms licence would apply. That's therefore why it's necessary in the Firearms Act: to go along with the revocation provisions that are in the bill.
