Mr. Speaker, I thank the minister for that response. I am sure that he will submit those reports to the members of the standing committee on justice.
My supplemental is this. In describing Canada's current gun control legislation, the courts of Canada have used the terms such as vague, uncertain, invalid, inconsistent with the charter, convoluted, fictitious and twice removed from reality.
I ask the minister this. Will he put aside any proposed legislation and immediately undertake a complete re-evaluation of the current legislation to ensure it is clear, consistent and of direct effect upon the criminal element to provide the protection needed by our society?
