Public Safety committee  Actually, it's five or 10. If you allow me, I don't want to go into too many details, but the alteration cannot be done if Bill C-21 becomes law. Right now, as you're probably aware, there are some magazines that could be used for multiple guns, and some of them could be remove

Public Safety committee  I think my colleague mentioned that there's obviously a link between guns and gender-based violence. There is no doubt about it. From a policy perspective, we're very clear on that aspect, and I think when there's a risk and we eliminate the risk, automatically.... I can't tel

Public Safety committee  I can't really speak to the discussions that led to the decisions of the government.

Public Safety committee  I could clarify that the intent of the legislation, as it's drafted right now in front of Parliament, is to limit and freeze the number of handguns. To be clear, some people will be exempt from the law. This was clearly described in the law to provide guidance. To the earlier p

Public Safety committee  The only thing I could say is that you heard the same thing I did from the minister on TV. I can't comment any further on that one. I'm sorry about that.

Public Safety committee  I'll take this one, if you'll allow me, Mr. Chair, because this is part of the policy work. I believe today was the end of the 30 sitting days for the regulations. I can tell you the regulations will probably be publicly available shortly. I can't tell you exactly when yet. I do

Public Safety committee  I can't guarantee that personally. I'm pretty sure the committee would request to talk to them, but we will be consulting. I can't tell you exactly how the consultation is going to take place yet, but we usually have an open forum; the technology now allows everybody. As I said

Public Safety committee  I'm being told it's a policy piece, so if you don't mind, Mr. Chair, I'll take this one. Right now, there is a requirement— I apologize for my very simplistic way of describing this, but I do it for my own understanding as well. Right now, there is a way to stop at five or 10

Public Safety committee  Thank you very much. There are a lot of questions in that comment. First, I would remind you of the democratic process involved in holding consultations. We're currently conducting many consultations and gathering information, but I can't begin consultations on specific items in

Public Safety committee  Thank you, Mr. Chair, for the question. That's exactly what I was mentioning. The data we have is holistic data on all gun usage. We will be happy to provide whatever we have on mental health, domestic violence and gender-based violence. I think it was mentioned earlier that i

Public Safety committee  Thank you, Mr. Chair. We follow your work here very closely, and clearly the committee heard from a lot of groups about the importance of removing guns in a situation of domestic violence and the huge impact that will have on the safety of anybody who's living in a domestic vio

Public Safety committee  Thank you very much, Mr. Chair. I think I mentioned earlier that we are working with Sport Canada and with the provinces and territories to ensure that we have clarity through the regulations on exactly what is required from these professional sport shooters. The threshold is

Public Safety committee  Thank you, Mr. Chair. I'm not here to defend or not defend what the minister is saying—

Public Safety committee  I can't tell you if it's a direct connection or not.

Public Safety committee  I just want to clarify, for the handgun part, that it's not only about gangs. That's obviously an important part, but there's the whole domestic violence part, and there is all the suicide, as well, by handguns. We do have data about how committing or attempting to commit suicide
