Public Safety committee I don't think I can claim to represent that number of people, but that's pretty much the consensus I think of certainly most people who would have a restricted PAL, meaning they're licensed to own handguns, and certainly a great number of the 2.3 million other licensed Canadians

Public Safety committee They haven't. We've been asking for a meeting with both the Minister of Public Safety back in the Bill Blair days and also the Prime Minister, and anyone else we can think of. We never got a reply, so no.

Public Safety committee Members of the committee and Mr. Chairman, I'd like to thank you for this opportunity to chat with you. I really appreciate it. I guess we can just jump right into it.

Public Safety committee In Canada, we have magazine capacity restrictions for a centre-fire semi-automatic rifle or shotgun. That's five rounds. In the United States, typically they don't have magazine capacity restrictions, other than in a few states.

May 24th, 2018Committee meeting
Rod Giltaca
Public Safety committee Well, I'm happy to talk about your philosophical question. In Canada, apparently, it's been determined that no one has a right to own a firearm and we understand that.

Rod Giltaca
Public Safety committee There seems to be a lot of confusion around this, but we acknowledge that there's a system in Canada for regulation and, if you look at us, as a group, we don't object to the licensing system.
