Public Safety committee  My name is Martin Bourget, and I'm the president of Aventure Chasse Pêche. We mainly produce hunting and fishing television programs and a magazine. I'm also a columnist who specializes in that field, particularly on firearms, in which I do technical reviews. I have published hun

Public Safety committee  These charges of disinformation are often related to firearms identification. We are directly addressing the vague definitions that cover a very large number of hunting firearms. That's where we see an enormous problem in terms of the information being presented to the committee.

Public Safety committee  Yes.

Public Safety committee  I am a spokesperson insofar as I'm the intermediary between francophone users and the National Firearms Association, the NFA. I act as a go-between. There are significant anglophone resources at the NFA, but not nearly as many francophones. I help francophones who need assistance

Public Safety committee  I can definitely not explain that to you, and that's your definition. In my company, I call the person responsible for fully transmitting the company's message a representative. A spokesperson, in my case, is someone to whom instructions are given so that the information is tran

Public Safety committee  Go ahead.

Public Safety committee  Yes.

Public Safety committee  I can't give you a number. It depends on what's available in the market. It would require a much broader study. However, I could mention a few specific examples. I mentioned the Browning-BAR earlier. This is a semi-iautomatic firearm that is very popular in Canada. I also mentio

Public Safety committee  Yes, absolutely.
