Mr. Speaker, it is an honour for me to ask a question for my colleague, the minister.
We know that originally we had the long gun registry. It was a $2 million registry, according to the Liberals, but turned out to be $2 billion-plus registry. It hurt farmers, it hurt ranchers, and it hurt sport shooters. I have a lot of friends in my riding of Medicine Hat who are passionate, safe gun owners, and this bill, I believe, would help those individuals.
I would ask the minister to comment further on how this bill would help hunters, sport shooters, farmers, and ranchers in my riding.
