Public Safety committee  Yes, I made that comment.

Public Safety committee  I'm talking about both, sir, the registration of all firearms, including the long-gun registry.

Public Safety committee  I believe in my earlier testimony that I also said that if the information is available on the registry, it's extremely useful, but a police officer will continue the search regardless, because our ultimate responsibility is public safety, the safety of the people in that home.

Public Safety committee  No. What I'm telling you is, if the search does reveal that there are registered weapons, that information is incredibly reliable and very important to us, and it will help us in our investigation.

Public Safety committee  Of course they're going to assume. But if they go into that house—

Public Safety committee  If I may finish—

Public Safety committee  If they go into that house and they find 20 weapons but they've not yet found the one that's registered, they're going to keep searching for it.

Public Safety committee  Actually, I wouldn't characterize my response as agreeing with you, sir.

Public Safety committee  No.

Public Safety committee  Actually, in the incident they did not rely on that information, but the information was valuable in solving that crime and determining some of the individuals who were responsible for the death of those officers.

Public Safety committee  Yes.

Public Safety committee  Yes.

Public Safety committee  Active lobbyists? We have not hired any lobbyists that I am aware of.

Public Safety committee  We have a government liaison company with which we've entered into a short-term contract. It had to do with a different matter.

Public Safety committee  Yes.
