Public Safety committee  It would be, for example, when you go to the Ottawa airport and Americans are here on Canadian soil pre-clearing you to enter into the United States. That's a pre-clearance officer.

Public Safety committee  It depends on whether they meet all the conditions under the Preclearance Act.

Public Safety committee  Just for clarification, it's not all banks. It's the Bank of Canada.

Public Safety committee  The same Criminal Code wording is retained, as currently written, to which we simply add “firearm parts”.

Public Safety committee  You’re correct. It’s an error. The translation is missing.

Public Safety committee  It’s a drafting issue. We would only change the English version, not the French version in this case. You’re making me work hard today.

Public Safety committee  I'll let my colleagues from Justice talk with regard to the Criminal Code. There are several packages of measures with regard to ghost guns. With regard to licensing and requiring a licence to acquire or import, that's in the Firearms Act. There are others for defining illegally manufactured firearms as prohibited firearms.

Public Safety committee  I believe a motion on Tuesday was for all barrels and handgun slides, as well as prescribed parts, so it is limited to those pieces.

Public Safety committee  Thank you for the question. We would have to undertake an in-depth analysis to determine what the framework is, what political will exists and what activities should be regulated.

Public Safety committee  The new definition that is being proposed is one that's based on technical characteristics that the government has determined—or made a decision proposal—are not suitable for civilian use and pose a risk to public safety.
