Mr. Speaker, according to the bill that was tabled today, all such paramilitary weapons will be prohibited.
They will be out of circulation at the end of the lives of those who now own them.
In the meantime, so that we do not "confiscate", to use the word of the hon. member from another province, they will be permitted to trade them, buy them and sell them among members of that same class. However, at the end of the day, in keeping with the policies and principles of the bill, those firearms will be out of circulation.
