Public Safety committee  We're just keeping track. Are we allowed to stay?

Public Safety committee  Thank you.

Public Safety committee  I would also like to point out that this is very unusual. Under the normal regulatory processes, the statutory instrument gives the government or the Governor in Council the power to make regulations in accordance with the process in place. Now I will answer in English with reg

Public Safety committee  Thank you for the question. With regard to clause 47, this provision specifies that individuals who would not be eligible to acquire handguns under the proposed restrictions, i.e., non-exempted persons, would still be able to acquire any handguns that they purchased in the perio

Public Safety committee  I'm not sure which one would apply first. Maybe I can lean on my colleagues from Justice for that.

Public Safety committee  Thank you for the question. I'll start in French to clarify some of the points that Madam Michaud made. I want to point out that when the government makes amendments to classify a firearm, it is not applying the regulations relating to the application of the Firearms Act. The c

Public Safety committee  I think if we can.... Maybe not now, but I think we'd go back and look at this, because I think there are a few others that you're talking about at report stage, and this might be something you can do at report stage.

Public Safety committee  Thank you for the question. It's because you are changing paragraph 117(k.1) with regard to respecting the importation and exportation and then you're adding “cartridge magazine”. I just have a little moment of doubt to just make sure that if there is regulation-making authority

Public Safety committee  I'm sorry. Are you saying that the government has the authority to repurchase? I don't see that written in the clause.

Public Safety committee  Yes. It's actually defined in the Criminal Code.

Public Safety committee  If I may, though, I have a quick question. You're regulating the import and the export. I thought you also intended to regulate acquisition. Do you have the regulatory authority to do that?

Public Safety committee  I think we will consult the legislative clerk to make sure the necessary regulations are adopted, if it is not already part of the Criminal Code.

Public Safety committee  I believe that, at the beginning of the session today, there was a subamendment made to NDP-1 that reinserted the regulation-making authority for the government. Therefore, you may want to consider keeping the regulation-making authority for protection orders.

Public Safety committee  It's an important coordinating amendment to keep both of them. In the beginning, in the definition—I would have to go back and look; perhaps the legislative clerk could read it out again—it talks about means as prescribed, I believe. It would be important to list them in both
