Mr. Speaker, the firearms acquisition certificates, as said earlier by a Member, is a rather extensive document to fill out. I believe that Yellowknife is one of the few communities that have passport services available and it is required to have this in order to fill out this firearms acquisition certificate and only the chief firearms officer is able to issue these certificates. It is my expectation that the provisions provided for under the proposed new firearms legislation of the federal government will mean that the administration and implementation of that bill will be rather difficult to implement and will have a negative impact on the ability of aboriginal people to have the ability to use guns in the way they are accustomed to. Thank you.
