Mr. Speaker, the federal legislation was to take effect in January. We have sent a letter to the Solicitor General indicating that because the training program and the funding for the requirements that result from the new legislation are not agreed to and worked out between our officials, we have asked for an extension and a delay on the date on which the legislation will take effect. Part of the negotiation is looking at who pays for the training and there is discussion about the issuance of the firearms acquisition certificate, to see whether it merits the insistence that those people who used to get it for free, the general hunting licence holders, should still be exempt from paying this fee. That is part of the discussions we are having with the federal government. Thank you.
