Madam Speaker, under the new requirements of the amendments to the Criminal Code, anyone in Canada who wishes to purchase a gun or a firearm will be required to take a course or to successfully pass a test. This was to have been implemented as of midnight tonight. However, after my meeting with him last week, the federal Minister has agreed that this will not be implemented until September of this year, which gives us some time to negotiate a more acceptable, realistic exam and course that will be offered to people of the Northwest Territories. Thank you.
