Mr. Speaker, the hon. member knows full well that this legislation has the support of the vast majority of Canadians, particularly Quebecers.
As I mentioned yesterday, I am disappointed at the approach she is taking to this initiative. I would call upon the hon. member to stand with this government in support of this legislation to see it enacted as soon as possible.
In the meantime, let me address the specific questions asked by the hon. member. With the enactment of this legislation commencing in January of next year the registration system will be under way. Two years after that the registration of firearms will commence. By reason of incentives for early registration we fully expect that registration will be in place within two or three years of the undertaking of the program, which I think is an objective for which we should all work together.
