Therefore, I ended up this past weekend taking my non-restricted and my restricted PAL so I could understand a bit more and then come back to this legislation. To me, it looks like the government has abandoned fact and evidence-based approaches to things.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5526035\" data-originallang=\"en\"> Last year, there were 1,400 deaths by firearms in Canada and 80% of those were suicides. None of them were related to lawful gun owners taking their gun to a gunsmith or to a gun show.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5526036\" data-originallang=\"en\">The authorization to transport today allows people to take their restricted weapons to target practice, to a gunsmith and to a gun show. I am not sure why those would be arbitrarily removed when there is no evidence that there has ever been a problem. Hundreds of thousands of gun owners across Canada are going to then have to call or go online to do this. That is hundreds of thousands of interventions with the government, which is just inefficient when there are no facts and evidence. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5526037\" data-originallang=\"en\">Would the member agree that this is really a waste of government resources and people's time?</p>",
        "fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"5526034\" data-originallang=\"en\">Madame la Pr\u00e9sidente, je pr\u00e9f\u00e8re toujours fonder mon approche sur les faits et les donn\u00e9es probantes. Donc, en fin de semaine, j'ai soumis une demande pour obtenir un permis de possession d'armes \u00e0 feu sans restriction, et une deuxi\u00e8me demande pour des armes \u00e0 autorisation restreinte, afin de mieux comprendre avant d'en parler devant l'Assembl\u00e9e l\u00e9gislative. \u00c0 mon avis, le gouvernement a abandonn\u00e9 les approches fond\u00e9es sur les faits et les donn\u00e9es probantes.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5526035\" data-originallang=\"en\">L'an dernier, il y a eu 1 400 d\u00e9c\u00e8s attribuables \u00e0 des armes \u00e0 feu au Canada, et 80 % d'entre eux \u00e9taient des suicides. Aucun des d\u00e9c\u00e8s n'a \u00e9t\u00e9 attribu\u00e9 \u00e0 des propri\u00e9taires d'armes \u00e0 feu respectueux de la loi apportant leur arme chez un armurier ou \u00e0 une exposition d'armes \u00e0 feu.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5526036\" data-originallang=\"en\">L'autorisation de transporter permet aujourd'hui aux gens d'apporter leur arme \u00e0 feu \u00e0 autorisation restreinte au champ de tir, chez un armurier et \u00e0 une exposition d'armes \u00e0 feu. Je ne comprends pas pourquoi cette autorisation a \u00e9t\u00e9 retir\u00e9e, alors qu'il n'y a aucune preuve qu'il y ait jamais eu de probl\u00e8me. Partout au Canada, des centaines de milliers de propri\u00e9taires d'armes \u00e0 feu vont devoir appeler ou aller en ligne pour s'occuper de cela, ce qui repr\u00e9sente forc\u00e9ment des centaines de milliers d'interventions aupr\u00e8s du gouvernement. C'est une fa\u00e7on de faire inefficace, vu qu'il n'y a aucun fait ni donn\u00e9e probante qui justifie qu'on proc\u00e8de ainsi.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5526037\" data-originallang=\"en\">Le d\u00e9put\u00e9 convient-il qu'il s'agit vraiment d'un gaspillage des ressources du gouvernement et d'une perte de temps pour les Canadiens?</p>"
