Mr. Speaker, I wish the person who asked the question had been here from the beginning. I have already refuted a lot of what he said.
I want to pick up on the issue of the 2,000 inquiries at the firearms registry every day. I have put in numerous access to information requests. I have tried to find out if they are made by bureaucrats in the justice department or front line police officers. I have talked to front line police officers. They have no use for the registry. They have told me that any self-respecting police officer who trusts any of the information in that registry would be taking his life in his hands.
In fact, the Auditor General herself said that over 90% of the registration certificates contain errors. Over five million registrations have never been verified.
I know the minister is not listening to what I am saying but if the Liberals would listen to some of the arguments in regard to this, and some of the research that has been done, they could not support the registry. It is riddled with errors. The 2,000 hits per day are not being done by policemen who are interested in public safety or finding out where the firearms are.
We cannot find out from the government who is accessing the registry.
