Mr. Speaker, I indicated some figures during my speech and I am still looking for the flowchart. However the member may want to comment on these statistics. This document is a homicide survey produced by Statistics Canada involving homicides only.
In 1991 there were 50 homicides with handguns and in 2001 there were 64. In 1991 there were 103 homicides with rifles and shotguns and in 2001 there were 46, less than half.
I believe that the document from Statistics Canada shows that there has been a dramatic drop in long arm homicides over the past decade compared to a relatively flat scenario for handguns. I will not table it but I would be happy to provide copies of it to members who would like to have this information.
