Public Safety committee  I would agree with the specialized enforcement. The other thing is that we do have our lab, plus we have a really good relationship with the ATF. That's where ghost guns started, as most things do. As Inspector Rowe says, we don't see a lot of them, but we're seeing more and

Public Safety committee  I agree; the definition is one thing, but the application is another.

Public Safety committee  No. I haven't seen any of the airsoft feedback that you would have the privilege to....

It's a very serious offence that all police services that

Public Safety committee  Correct. We could do more of it. Again, it comes down, obviously, as the inspector also mentioned, to resources.

Public Safety committee  I look forward to your questions. To end that, we have 528 guns seized today, and approximately 19% of those are handguns. I look forward to your questions. Thank you for your time.
