Thank you, Mr. Chairman. The federal government, I believe is going to contract the RCMP directly to carry out work to implement the new gun legislation, so they will pay for all costs to introduce and implement this legislation to put it in place. As far as gun safety is concerned, our government provides basic safety training programs. This does not constitute what is required by the federal government to meet the requirements of that new legislation. For instance, to acquire a licence, to own, possess or purchase a firearm, you need to pass a test. That would be all provided for by the federal government and not by our government. We will continue to provide basic training where possible in the public interest in order for people to meet the demands of the legislation in acquiring guns. Thank you.
