Thank you very much, Mr. Chair.

I'll continue with Ms. Rathjen from PolySeSouvient.

Continuing on the issue of high-capacity magazines, when you read the mandate letter of the Minister of Public Safety, it states quite clearly in that bullet point the following: “Requiring the permanent alteration of long-gun magazines so that they can never hold more than five rounds”. To you, what does “permanent alteration” mean, and could police services ever visually confirm that from a distance?

Do you have any thoughts about that particular bullet point in the minister's mandate letter?
