Mr. Chairman, we are talking about serious offences, offences that carry a minimum penalty of over five years.
The minister has provided that kind of penalty in Bill C-68. That means a group of hunters or a group of farmers or a group of people who own firearms like .22 calibre gopher rifles and do not want to register them fall within that category. I suppose they could be designated as members of a criminal organization if there were five of them.
If their primary activity could be determined to be failure to register their firearms and challenging the gun law in court, it could
be considered to be a series of offences. Would they fall into the category of a criminal organization?
