Mr. Speaker, we are not telling the police or crown prosecutors how to administer the criminal law of this land.
As I have already pointed out, discretion lies with the police, with crown prosecutors. They may choose to lay a formal charge. They may choose to caution or to warn in certain circumstances.
I find it passing strange that the hon. member and his party who are so opposed to gun control in this country would now argue for strict enforcement of those very provisions they are opposed to.
