However, the fact that this problem exists does not mean that other things are not also needed. We have to address all these concerns.</p>\n<p>The minister of revenue and the people working in his department, the solicitor general and members of the RCMP are all working closely with other police forces. Indeed, when I met with the attorney general of the United States here in Ottawa in March, the first item on the agenda was the need for our</p>\n<p>governments to work together more effectively to deal with the smuggling of firearms.</p>\n<p>I fully agree with the hon. member, it is an important issue. It needs more attention, and it will get it.</p>",
