Thank you, Chair.

Thank you to all the witnesses for being here today.

My first question is going to be directed towards Mr. Dubé.

Throughout the different meetings of this committee, we have heard from multiple witnesses that the Liberals' firearms buyback program is ineffective in dealing with the root cause of gun violence. We heard it can be quite costly and the resources could be better used elsewhere. Do you believe that the firearms buyback program is an effective tool against gun crimes?
