Mr. Speaker, I have heard as well, unofficially, that there are officials working in the federal Department of Fisheries and Oceans who are either obliged or feel obliged to wear sidearms in the course of their office duties in case they may be called to work in an environment that requires sidearms. I do not know of any situations recently where they have faced such situations, but it has been expressed as a concern by certain members of the public in the past. I am sure if we asked the federal Minister as to the reasons for such a need, there may be somewhere a rational explanation for such carryings on, so to speak. Thank you.
