Sir, not to split the difference, but I believe it's an equal problem on both sides. Firearms, especially handguns, are being brought in from the United States. These handguns are not being used for any lawful purpose. They're being used to commit violence.
We definitely need to work with our partners at CBSA and the RCMP border integrity teams in order to be able to combat those illegal importations and make sure that domestic firearms are secured and domestic firearms are not falling into the hands of the criminal element through theft or the use of straw purchasers. A straw purchaser is someone who has a lawful firearms licence, who is able to lawfully purchase firearms, but who is being used by the criminal element to go out and purchase non-restricted firearms, which are then entering into the criminal groups through that kind of lawful means.
