Senator Gold, late last year during our committee hearings on Bill C-21, Minister LeBlanc submitted in writing guarantees around sport shooting.

As our shooting athletes prepare for Paris 2024, I have certainly been challenged on this bill. Minister LeBlanc wrote:

I want to assure the committee that consultations will take place to clearly establish the process for the elite sport shooter exemption. . . . This exemption must apply to those who are currently representing Canada, and those who are training . . . . There must be a pathway for the next generation.

My question today is this: Has the government established an exemption and regulations yet? If so, have any been granted for our athletes at every level of competition?

Thank you. Do you have a sense with the work being done when we can tell athletes that something will be in place to review?
