Mr. Speaker, I thank the hon. colleague for his background on the budget and the importance this government has shown toward justice issues.
I too would like to direct a comment and a question to the hon. member on Bill C-68 as well. Bill C-68 is nothing more than a record or an accountability of all the weapons or long arms, guns that are out there in Canada. It is not dissimilar to refrigerators, automobiles, cars and animals.
Does the hon. member believe that if we create this data bank of weapons, that the police deserve to have access to the knowledge of whether or not weapons are located in a house when they go to a domestic call? Does the member think that is a good idea?
