Mr. Speaker, I know there is limited time remaining to offer a question to the hon. member who just spoke. A big part of his presentation dealt with rural Canada. One of the big issues in rural Canada ever since the Liberal government passed the gun registry has been exactly that, and furthermore, the need for secrecy and confidentiality in the compilation of the list of gun owners.
I wonder, given the hon. member's obvious attachment and professed concern for rural Canadians in particular, how he feels about what we have learned, that is, the Liberal government intends to contract out the gun registry to private contractors. How does his government intend to ensure confidentiality of that information?
