Public Safety committee  No. The only thing I would add is around the tracing and the Internet investigations that are also completed as part of our package when we get that firearm.

Public Safety committee  Not that I'm aware of.

Public Safety committee  Yes, we are always looking at that to make sure that it is top of our mind to protect the information of the licence-holders. I want to add on technology.

There's one in Ontario, and there's one, the national centre, which is managed through the Canadian firearms program. In the national one, we had approximately 2,000 traces this year, and 73% were deemed to be imported legally, or manufactured in Canada.
