I'm sorry, Chair, if I wasn't clear.
I have a purpose for removing the word “not”.
I appreciate your answer, but I want to speak specifically to those cases where it's not for the purpose of employment or the purpose of the course of somebody's job, like a trapper or an armoured car guard. I'm talking about those rare instances where an individual has been given an ATC for personal protection for whatever reason.
If I read this correctly, this clause, if it's not amended, would limit the person's ability to travel in their country with their protective device that they've been authorized to carry to the area of jurisdiction of that chief firearms officer only. They would essentially be—because I can't come up with the right words right now—imprisoned in their own area of jurisdiction.
I'm asking you this from a charter perspective. Under the Charter of Rights and Freedoms, section 6, mobility rights, every Canadian citizen is granted the ability to travel freely in this country, and under legal rights under section 7, everyone is entitled to the right to life, liberty and security of the person. These people would be issued this authorization to carry for that life, liberty and security of the person premise. That security of the person premise only applies, then, to the jurisdiction of the chief firearms officer. It doesn't apply to the entirety of Canada.
Is this clause charter compliant?
