That is an interesting comment made by the hon. member, that this may not fulfil the wishes of the public. One has to question what the public wants.
The public wants efficient police enforcement. It wants people brought to justice when they should be and it wants individual rights protected. The public does not want police officers brandishing firearms and firing in every direction for any reason under the guise of protection. That would not happen. I am not saying police officers would do it, but individuals may. That would not happen. We want good enforcement. That is why we need a balancing. That balancing is between the protection of individuals and police enforcement and bringing people to
justice. That is what the Canadian public wants. The Canadian public will get it with this legislation.
It will get it within this legislation which I suggest to the hon. member police officers will support once it goes through the House.
