Madam Speaker, I do not know whether the member has any evidence that supports legal handguns being used in the commission of an offence. In fact, I would say it is zero, as one member already talked about. Does the member agree that to get to the root problem here, there has to be crime prevention to prevent people from being involved in illegal gun crimes? Doing that is going to cost billions, so rather than a buyback program, would those billions of dollars not be better suited going toward the actual root cause of the problem and prevention?

Mr. Speaker, I really appreciate my colleague's comments. It is the first time I have heard him speak in the House. I really appreciated the tenor he brought to this debate. Let me ask this question. He brought up the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission and its role in this legislation. Right now, that body has had less and less to do and it is becoming somewhat irrelevant. In this case, we are looking at actually changing net neutrality because so much is delivered over the net here. I would ask the member to please tell me this, if he could. How many people does he think will be employed at the CRTC to make sure it can go through all this content? They will need to make sure it meets the standards that they will set, obviously under the auspices of the government. Does he foresee a time when the number of people working for the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission will exceed the number of artists actually providing input into the system?
