Mr. Speaker, that is an answer to a question, but it was not an answer to my question.
Many experts anticipate that this buyback is going to be a multi-billion dollar boondoggle that does not have any meaningful impact on public safety. We have seen this before from the Liberals. Unfortunately, for law-abiding firearms owners, the government cares about pushing its ideology and not about taking concrete steps to actually address public safety.
What data did the Liberal government rely on when determining how many individuals would likely participate in their buyback program?
