Mr. Speaker, if we are not to make distinctions in law then what is our function here? These distinctions are very important.
The power is to inspect, which is completely consistent with the approach taken in dozens of other statutes federally and provincially to ensure public safety. Those powers of inspection have been organized and presented in Bill C-68 in a fashion that
has been held on more than one occasion by the Supreme Court of Canada to be both constitutional and appropriate.
