Mr. Speaker, if the minister is not answering the question, it is probably because he does not know what to answer.
Here is another question: does the minister not realize that with the abolition of the firearms registry as we know it and its replacement by a multitude of smaller registries kept by firearms retailers, it will be possible to monitor the purchase of new weapons but nearly impossible for police to monitor subsequent resales of these weapons?
Does the minister realize that he is making life easier for street gang members than hunters?
