Madam Speaker, I appreciate the work of the hon. member on the committee.
The position of the Conservative Party prior to and during the committee work was that Bill C-71 is essentially a backdoor registry. There were supporting witnesses who said that this was a backdoor registry. The hon. member moved an amendment which said that this cannot be construed in any way, shape or form as a registry. The committee was persuaded by the hon. member's arguments that this was not a registry.
Is it still the position of the member and his party that Bill C-71 is a backdoor registry?
