Mr. Speaker, it is nice to live in a world of naivety and I do appreciate that from the hon. member.
I spoke nothing of confiscation in my dissertation. I spoke of a piece of legislation that in my estimation and in the estimation of thousands of Canadians is unenforceable.
I appreciate the fact that the hon. member will register his guns. I thank him very much for that. I can also assure the member that there are law-abiding citizens in my area and in areas of western Canada who will not register their guns. They will be criminals.
Is my police force to go into those houses and look for those people who have not registered a long rifle and charge those law-abiding individuals? If they are, we will need substantially more police officers in our municipalities to do that.
I do not subscribe to a lot of the rhetoric that has come from these benches with respect to confiscation. However, I do know in my mind that if legislation is unenforceable then it is not good legislation and should not be on the books.
