Mr. Speaker, the registering and licensing of firearms has been so badly bungled by the justice department that the government is now trying to privatize the mess.
The system is riddled with errors. Even the government's own privacy commissioner has raised numerous concerns and last week said that it may be necessary to have an official review of the whole firearms system.
Is privatization an attempt by the justice minister to distance herself and the government from this huge mess so that they will not have to answer questions and be directly accountable?
