Madam Speaker, I thank my colleague for his speech and for the open-mindedness he demonstrated earlier.
I have another suggestion for him. Will the members of his government also be open to sitting down and defining which firearms should be prohibited, as a first step?
As the bill currently stands, we see that some assault weapons are banned while others are not, and there is no real reason for that.
The first thing to do would be to define the characteristics of weapons that should be prohibited so that they can be put on the list. This is not just a matter of picking out of a hat the models of firearms we have heard most about.
I would like to know what my colleague thinks about that.
