Thank you very much, Mr. Chair.
Certainly, it's one of the concerns that I've heard from a number of constituents. Quite often, it's a surprise. I received a phone call from a retired elementary school principal who had taken up a type of sport shooting with a handgun and was truly distraught. This is not an Olympic sport. It's something that he and his wife had taken up after retirement, and they found a great deal of joy in retirement in doing it.
To complement Mr. Lloyd's point, I think it's really unfortunate that there is such a narrow prescription here. It really misses many of those who have been engaged in handgun shooting more broadly. Not acknowledging that is putting at risk what was described as—and I would agree—a very vibrant subset of Canadian culture. That is no more evident than in western Canada. Whether that be rodeo and the culture associated with that or the indigenous sport shooters, it's not like they necessarily have IOC designations or prescriptions to how they do things.
To ensure there is an expansion to include the full creativity of what these individuals' experiences might be and to not limit what that should look like is, I think, common sense. I think it acknowledges that the understanding of a few here in the nation's capital prescribing across our country is not what is best for this space in Canada.
